This was a known bug in a version of cfdisk. If you open a shell during the installation process and run fdisk manually instead, you can partition the drive such that the "can't seek" problem does not occur. This problem has only be reported in drives >2GB, AFAIK. Note that the manual procedure I described comes from recollection. I bypassed the problem on some 2.5GB drives by using 4 primary partitions and no extended partitions. I believe it was a problem with extended partitions only.
