You're missing the point. The disk is already partitioned, there should
be no reason to use fdisk. The problem is that the partition names show
as some strange name:

/dev/mapper/lsi_jhicccaiaa_part1      DM Raid (ext3
/dev/mapper/lsi_jhicccaiaa_part3      DM Raid (xfs)

and when I select what should be the proper partition for the upgrade
(part3 with xfs) it tells me:

"No installed system that can be upgraded with this product was found on
the selected partition"

Since the partition that I want to upgrade is on an xfs partition I
cannot _upgrade_ my system.

Also the bug referenced shows this as resolved from Beta 2. If so why is
it still around in the retail version?

I can also drop down to "F2" console and mount the proper partitions
(/dev/ccissc/c0d0p3 is /, and /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 is /boot) without error.
