YDL3.0 install on Umax Apus 2000

[Suzanne Payne]

Yay!  With No Video checked (otherwise X crashes out) I'm getting a 
graphical installer...but I get an Exception when I try to format the 
drive.  Booo!  And if I try the kernel that doesn't have BOOT at the end, I 
get the same crashout at "Installation Method".  Boooo!
