If you're installing from the YDL CD, the installation gets to the point
where yoou set up your partitions. After you do this you need to turn
off the power and restart, then go through setup again (Install manual,
Page 5.14). I just use pdisk, not Disk Druid, so I can't help you there.
I've got a PowerBase 200, which is the same as you, and the above worked
for me.
