What physical size is your /dev/hda?

/root/custom is a directory you will need to create yourself. In it you
place files you need to add to the sytem after all the packages were
extracted. Custom files will overwrite package files.

So if you would like etc/config/ifcfg-eth0 to contain your ip numbers
rather than samples in the packages create the
/root/custom/etc/config/ifcfg-eth0 file with the proper permissions and it
will be copied into the target filesystem during the extraction process.

The /dev/fd0 reference is for floppy based systems only. Changing it to
/dev/hda won't do anything until you try to build a floppy based sytem.

Changing /dev/sda to /dev/hda is the right thing to do (as you did).

There should be a screen with a list of items and their results...

Did you make sure to extract the filesystem prior to selecting the
installation step?

TTYL,
