It's something that happens if you make a mistake in sysinstall and attempt to re-do an earlier step. For unknown reasons, sysinstall then ends up trying to install the system onto the memory-disk it uses as the root filesystem, rather than onto the actual hard drive.

You are going to have to give more information. What do your file systems look like? Sure I have had that happen when what I was ftp-ing was too big to fit where I was trying to put it. Then I had to either find or make a bigger space or change my mind about what I wantd to move there. Maybe yo udidn't make / big enough or made only a / big enough for stuff that will be in root, but didn't make a separate /usr and /var, etc for things what will go in them. I am not subscribed. If I should be tell me. If not, put me in the cc-line. It would be good if you could subscribe.
