Wait.  Don't you see what is wrong above?
Let me guess.  The last time you used this disk, partition d was your

/home partition, right, and i is /var?
We don't know what partition to mount where.
You failed to fill in the information, using at least the 'm' command,

and then when you quit disklabel it correctly says:
> '/' must be configured!
Read what it says.
The nice install script then nicely goes back to trying to see if you

will learn to read next time.
