New ISO's are not out yet. I set them up Friday but was reminded that
there are security updates I did not include. The individual files on the
mirrors reflect the changes. Are you trying to use existing partitions?
You could just delete the partitions with the MacOS version of pdisk and
let the installer create the bootstrap anyway (it's only 1MB). Also make
sure you don't have any "holes" in the partition table (this is also fixed
now)
