Hello Aniruddha, the bug is caused by a faulty utility called 'parted' 
in FC3. Just keep banging away on the 'ENTER' key and the install will 
eventually continue. The same bug will pop up again a little later, 
Again, just keep banging away on the 'ENTER' key until the install 
continues. I had the same problem.

Good luck. FC3 is worth the trouble.
