Comments/Problems: DASD configures, and partitions, but fails to write

DASD formats, and goes through the configuration. Desired setup was to have / on one larger disk, /usr on the
other, and /boot on the small disk. No swap initially (there will be vdisk for that later). Also tried setting up
a single large disk for everything. Once I accept any of the configurations, I get the following error:
┌──────────────┤ [!!] Partition disks ├──┐

The disks are R/W. I was able to format them with CPFMTXA, and the initial Linux format works. I’ve tried
with and without both, with no change in behavior. Virtual machine definition follows:
