Hi Jaxon,

Well, it looks like the filesystem mounted, that's a start.
How about booting with the slinky disk and trying again?
This time, check the output as you go:
ls /mnt/filesystem/
If that shows a valid filesystem..
ls /mnt/filesystem/root/

As for partitions, I generally try to set up 3 partitions on my test 
machines:
128M for swap
100M for /boot
balance for /

On my laptop where I just finished testing a new version of the 
installer, (details to follow) I have:
[root at conundrum ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 3253 MB, 3253469184 bytes
128 heads, 63 sectors/track, 788 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 = 4128768 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1          25      100768+  83  Linux

/dev/hda3             741         788      193536   82  Linux swap

[root at conundrum ~]# df -h
