Description of problem:
  The newer limbo seem to be unable to update the partition table.  This only
occurs in the installer.  On the 1st attempt the installer dies as it can't
updated the partition table.  If you attempt to install with an existing
partition table the installer installs the rpms, but dies before installing a
bootloader.  If you drop to a shell you can run fdisk normally unless you've let
the installer touch the partition table.  I can install the system via fdisk,
mke2fs, and tar from an nfsroot with no issues.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1)Attempt to install on a Tyan 2515 /w a fastrak controller
2)Attempt again using the existing partition table
	

Actual Results:  System failed with the following error:
