I did not deviate from defaults until the partition editor, where I 
deleted existing partitions (Linux) and tried to create new ones.

So, it's a MBR scheme, and I intended to create three partitions, for 
"/", for "/srv" and a swap partition. I think Andrey's idea about what 
went wrong with the swap partition is most probably correct, so this 
only leaves the inability to register mount points with the partitions.

However, if as Brandon suggested this is already fixed, don't bother. 
I'll try the BETA2 when ISOs become available and will post screenshots 
(IPMI) if it fails again.
