I have not seen that. I have been installing a lot with that cd lately, as
I keep screwing up -- er, I mean, I keep learning by doing. My latest
install happened when I had it all working and ... the IBM travelstar died
(click .. click .. click .. click)

At this point I've made every possible mistake you can make on installs,
you betcha, and this is one problem I have not seen.

Weird, I did exactly this step and it worked fine. I could send you the
pcf I have built to see if you have the same problem.

When you say 'clean install', what precisely was on that disk before you
did the install? and, did the install procedure ask you about writing the
MBR?
