beofdisk -w is not updating the partition table on slave nodes.

All,
I've been told what I am doing is correct but I am still getting errors when
trying to do a beoboot-install -a hda. What I get is this:
# beoboot-install -a hda
Creating boot images...
Building phase 1 file system image in /tmp/beoboot.2488...
ram disk image size (uncompressed): 1452K
compressing...done
Kernel image is: "/tmp/.beoboot-install.2487".
Initial ramdisk is: "/tmp/.beoboot-install.2487.initrd".
Failed to read partition table from hda on node 0.
# bpsh 0 /sbin/sfdisk -l /dev/hda

Any ideas why beoboot-install isn't working correctly? I don't know what I did
correctly to actually get the partition table to write to the disk but it is now
written as seen above. Is there enough space on /dev/hda1? This was created
using the beofdisk -d option.
