How far into the installer do you get?
On my machine, I do the setup of BootX, get into the text-based
installer, and proceed to the "Partition Disks" screen. Once there, I
see my drives:
hda (WDC WDC300BB-00-AUA1)
sda (ZIP 100)
So I highlight the hda disk and select "Edit" to get into pdisk/fdisk
and edit the free hard disk space to my tastes and Linux's. ... :-)
