Cfdisk doesnt work. Unable to Install Etch



Yesterday i downloaded the Etch installation Binary-1 and today i am trying to install, but when i try to "automatically partition hard drives" i got an error saying the step failed. I tried ALT+F2 and tried to run cfdisk and got a "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive". But, if i execute the command "cfdisk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc" the disk can be partitioned, but i cant set the mount position (i can create a 500 MB swap and a 20 GB Linux ext3.. but can say to mount the 20GB Linux ext3 in the /). i never use cfdisk. There is a way to mount it manually and continue the Etch installation?
I search google and found this as a bug reported on 2003 (http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2003/11/msg01258.html). Its an old bug that is back, or i am doing something wrong?
Tks in advance
