I found the page in the FAQ about three minutes after I posted. I get so used to google finding me the right things, I occasionally forget to just go to the place I know should have the answers. So far, I know that sfdisk choked on creating the partition, but that fdisk succeeded. After that the install proceeded normally, but the system didn't reboot. I have to go get details on why, but my guessis either lilo or a missing module in the initrd.
