I've not tried to install AC 0.9 by myself, but assume that 
autopartitioning  might not work
correctly. I would go for manual partitioning with fdisk  keeping in 
mind that there should
be room left at the begining of hard drive for aboot loader (if SRM is 
used). Start creating
partitions from 2nd cylinder.
128Mb for "boot" partition should be enought.
