Hello and welcome,
I had this issue and fixed it by looking into the prepdisk/partdisk files
in /bin/inst. There is a command for manually formatting the disk as mbr.
After that you can run the whole installation process and the disk should
be detected as mbr.
It should also be possible to completely ream/null the disk (some vps
providers have an option for that). Then you should get the prompt again.
Good luck
