With some additional tinkering, I've found a few more bits of
information.  Using fdisk -l I found that /dev/sda1 was not set as
bootable at the time of the failure.  So I manually set it as bootable.
Still failed.  I recreated the partition and set it as bootable
manually, then in the installation told the partitioner to not format
that partition.  Still failed.  Finally, I told it to reformat as ext3
instead of ext2, and it installed successfully (as far as I can tell at
this point).
