What I've done is created a nfs boot version of a build, to fdisk, 
format, and install drives. When I try to do this, I get the following 
errors:
Could not determine if /dev/hda1 is mounted
mkfs.ext3: Could not create journal
failed: Block device required

Here's are all the details.
ls /dev/hda1 -lh
