Oh, it completely aborts when this happens.
Okay, one more time....
DASD Disk Management stated that they were formatted...requested it to format
them again.
Okay reallocated (partitions, Volume Groups, Logical Volumes and mount points)
Not sure why this is, but on the "Installation Settings" one item is in RED:
"Creating volume group VolGroup00 /dev/dasda3 /dev/dasdb1 /dev/dasdc1
/dev/dasdd1"
(It would let me add either the dasd or the partition to the Volume Group, I
tried the single partition from each dasd.)
But it did start installing...

Somewhere back in the installation process, when you selected the devices,
you should have selected the dasds, then activated them, and FORMATed them.
