Sybase 12.5.4 installation problem

I am trying to install a sybase 12.5.4 in raw devices.

the raw partitions are ready.
during the installation I got attached problems while creating the database.

/dev/raw/raw1: bound to major 8, minor 9
/dev/raw/raw2: bound to major 8, minor 10
/dev/raw/raw3: bound to major 8, minor 11
/dev/raw/raw4: bound to major 8, minor 7
/dev/raw/raw5: bound to major 8, minor 8

inst files are the installtion print screens with the db options
err files the error print screens

any idea?
thanks

Are you able to read these screenshots?

Mm, I can't read them either, when I zoom in they're too jagged.

Rather than giving us screenshots, can you give us error messages and install logs?

Sorry, when I saved them in small sizes I did not check again.
I am out of the office for the weekend, but I will attach the log files on monday with the error message description.

anyway, I did finish the installation by "hand" using the scripts installmaster, installcommit, etc... but I have the logs and I would like very much to find out what is the problem.
get back monday with the log files.
thanks guys!
Sorry for the delay:

the options used were:
master device = /dev/raw/raw1
procedure device /dev/raw/raw2
system device /dev/raw/raw3

the message is:
warning: unable to verify /dev/raw/raw1 device size. Please verify that this device is not already in use and that it has sufficient space available.

warning: unable to verify /dev/raw/raw2 device size. Please verify that this device is not already in use and that it has sufficient space available.

Server 'sybase' was not created.

while it does not run in graphic mode, I was able to create by shell without any problem.
Just would like to know why I cannot do it in graphic installation mode, but I was able to do it by "hand"
