"Finally, let's create the root partition. To do this, type n to create a new
partition, then type 3 to create the third partition, /dev/hda4 in our case."

This won't work as written because you've already used partition 3 to define the
Whole Disk partition earlier in the process. At least that's what the error
message seemed to say. I worked around this by using "type 4" to use hda4 instead. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read doc
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
gave incorrect partition info

Expected Results:  
Give correct partition info

it's easier to double check the guide before committing. :)

eh.. I didn't notice you're the maintainer.
don't you have cvs access to commit?

In process. A storm power failure caused data loss on my local machine.

I'll commit it for you :)
