Dear people,

I have a strange problem. On one system that I am running, I cannot use
sysinstall to do partition/label for a disk. This problem seems peculiar to
this OS, somewhere.
When I launch sysinstall, I get some funny message appear on the screen (see
http://lix.in/-9b7e16 for an image).
>From there I choose custom -> partition > Select the disk then enter
partition editor. The cursor simply refuses to move from there, though
keyboard is active.

What may be the cause?
