fdisk quits weirdly



Hi.
Following the installation guide at http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook.html and choosing "debian only", some weird prompt tells me my bootstrap partition should be of type Apple_bootstrap but it then boots into the installer anyway. After configuring the keyboard (but "dvorak" wasn't available, aaaargh! So I had to sit and look at a qwerty one, but that was fine) I chose "partition a hard drive", answered a few questions, but came to a dialog that never stopped appearing until I chose no. "Weird", I thought, "mac-fdisk must be quitting weirdly." So I went back to the menu, and chose "execute a shell" and typed fdisk. It quit weirdly, spouting something about a "(".

What gives? (I tried this three times or so, same result every time.)
Sue.
