Subject: fdisk install probs

I'm having problems with fdisk while trying to install champion server 1.1 (from CD) on a beige g3.
On an external scsi 2G, i have a 400 meg HFS partition. I configure a 1 gig root partition, a 128 meg swap partition and ~500M extra partition on index 6,7 and 8.
All seems fine, but when i go to save the map, i get a "pdisk: re-read of partition table failed. (device or resource busy) reboot your system to ensure the table is updated"
When I quit, I get an fdisk "error reading partition table for the block device /tmp/sdb error was:device not configured"
The installation manual says to just hit skip drive. At which point I get a "Segmentation Fault. install ended abnormally. sending termination, kill signals, unmounting. you may safely reboot your system."
Then I have to turn the power off.
I've restarted and tried this several times. Any advice?
