As stated this is a known issue with sysinstall (one of many...) I'm
currently working on a fix unfortunately real life has gotten in the way
and I haven't had time to make the changes and test yet.

As stated the workaround while installing is to move over to the holoshell
on VT4 and update the partition table to mark only the correct slice as
active. Note, you'll have to do this after the base distribution has been
extracted.
