5. Make primary partition and make "bootable".
If you have a partition for /boot it must be made bootable instead of the partition that you will use for / (root). And once rebooted if it tells you to because it could not re-read the partition table you should sudo mkswap /dev/hd?? to format the space as swap, if it does not tell you to reboot do this anyway before you start the installer. Replace the ?? with the drive letter and partition number of the /swap.
