I noticed as I installed (on an iMac DV SE) a similar problem. My problem
turned out to be that the installer has formatting the swap partition as
the default (checked with a [*]), but any other partitions (/, /home,
etc.)
defaults to UNCHECKED ([ ]). I actually didn't notice this until I went
back into MacOS and brought up Drive Setup and the partitions were still
indicated as HFS+ rather than Apple_Unix_SVR2. So, rerun your install and
make sure you are checking the non-swap partitions for formatting.
Good Luck!
