After your first run through with pdisk, after writing the partition
table you _must_ pull the power, then restart the machine, go through
the initial part of the setup again, then skip the partitioning step.
If you do not do this you get the message you get.
Why this is I cannot tell you. I can tell you that the procedure is odd
enough that it trips up lots of people - it tripped me up the first time
through, and we've got 8 or so linux machines here all set up by me.
It's specific to the ppc AFAIK. Turning off the power to a machine
running linux, especially in the middle of an install, is
counterintuitive to say the least.
