I'm unable to select any moint points or manually edit them here. -The "Original Filesystem Type" is listed as "Foreign" as well -The Size(MB) field shows a size of 51 MB, which is inconsistent with what fdisk reported earlier -Select the /dev/ida/c0d0p4 partition and attempt to edit it. -Note that you cannot edit mount points here either. -I need to delete the 'fdisk-created' partitions and manually partition with Disk Druid in order to proceed. NOTE: Disk Druid works.
Please retry with beta 3 - it should work now.
