Really? It should allow you to set as an EFI system partition,
or any of the various DOS filesystem types, which all work
in testing here.

This sounds like you did not make an initrd that contains
the proper SCSI adapter module, or (alternatively) did not
compile it in statically. Alternatively, you may not
have the filesystem type compiled in; did you install
to an ext3 filesystem?
