Debian sarge installer beta 3

Hi guys.

Im trying to install debian using the new installer.
My current hdd looks like this

#1 primary 8.3GB NTFS
#5 logical 63.96GB NTFS
#3 primary 526.4MB swap
#4 primary 7.1GB reiserfs

After choosing a language and hardware detection, I get to the partitioning part. My options are:
Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
Automatically partition a drive
Undo changes
Configure the logical volume manager

After selecting Finish partitioning, I get an error screen telling me that: No root filesystem defined.

Any ideas on what to do?

Thanx

I haven't used the new debian installer and it's been quite a while since I fooled around with a debian install. But you have to designate a root partition somwhere in the install process and from what I can see that will be /dev/hda4, your 7.1GB reiserfs partition.
