RE: No root file system defined

I tried to install Zorn 8 Core/lite to a 160 GB disk on the SATA buss. I will make a “full install” from a USB 8GB flash drive. Using “something else, all goes ok. Until I hit the key “install now”, then a window telling me that “No root file system defined” and it tells me to “Please correct this from the partitioning menu” <OK>

The process I used as followed:
I used a .ISO file from the website and burned both a DVD and 8GB USB flash drive
I booted from both the DVD and Flash drive and got the same thing.
Selected the alternative “something else” and got the info below.


Installation type

Device Type Mount point Format? Size Used System
/dev/sda
/dev/sda1 ext4 /boot [] 160039MB 72MB



+ - Change New Partition Table Revert
Device for boot loader installation
/dev/sda ATA WDC WD160BEVS-W2 (160.0 GB)

Quit ←Back Install Now

Look this linked, there is the ansver. You have possibly not defined the mounting point to root -/-, Or you missed to hit "OK" before going to "install now"
