on my machine i got the sarge-installer running after manually selecting a root partition __and___ defining the file-type manually. (this after ' partitioning' of course) did you do so too? i could not make that up out of your message. steefSteef:
<snip>Steef: I cannot figure out how to not partition and define the file-type manually. He flips automagically from the beginning to "partitioning disks". There I get the choice of letting him do it or doing it manually. I hit "go back" then and select "Configure and mount partitions". Then he displays all the partitions he found. An aside: he cannot figure out hda1, although cfdisk shows it as:

There I select partition 13 on hdb and he gives me a bunch of choices for the mountpoint, not the file-type, I make it / and hit enter.
After that he installs everything and the kernel-image which fails by saying that mkinitrd cannot find the root device.
Where did you specify the file-type of the root device? Hugo
