log in to the system from the livecd as root and use fdisk to delete
all the partitions on the disk.
This is from memory, but the command/output should be something like:
# fdisk /dev/sda
Command (m for help): d
partition number : 1
Command (m for help): d
partition number: 2
Command (m for help): d
Command (m for help): w
Command (m for help) q
Keep using the "d" command and then picking numbers until it stops
asking for partition numbers and you should have a clean disk that
Vyatta can install to.
Then try again. Be aware that this will destroy all data on the disk,
so if you need anything off that disk first, take a backup now...

Hello,
I'm trying to install it from liveCD to hard drive but I got the
following error (see below). I'm not a linux expect, so if someone
can help here that would be great.
Thanks,

Welcome to the Vyatta install program. This script
will walk you through the process of installing the
Vyatta image to a local hard drive.
Would you like to continue? (Yes/No) [Yes]:
Probing drives: OK
The Vyatta image will require a minimum 450MB root
partition and a minimum 10MB configuration partition.
Would you like me to try to partition a drive automatically
or would you rather partition it manually with parted? If
you have already setup your partitions, you may skip this step.
Partition (Auto/Parted/Skip) [Auto]:
I found the following drives on your system:
sda 61000MB
sdb 129MB
Install the image on? [sda]:
This will destroy all data on /dev/sda.
Continue? (Yes/No) [No]: Yes
Cannot mount /dev/sda2.
Please see install.log for more details.

Removing partition 1 on /dev/sda
Cannot mount /dev/sda2.
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/tmp

/dev/sda2 looks like swapspace - not mounted
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
