It looks like this is an issue with busybox mount. I found this thread which has a similar report:
http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2007-December/029521.html

I can easily reproduce this from a debug shell: # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/ -t ext3 -o relatime mount: Mounting /dev/hda1 on /mnt/ failed: Invalid argument # dmesg
EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "realtime" or missing value

It's not limited to just ext3. If I try without the -t option, dmesg shows: EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "realtime" or missing value jfs: Unrecognized mount option "realtime" or missing value ReiserFS: hda1: warning: unknown mount option "realtime" XFS: unknown mount option [realtime]

This I cannot reproduce: I selected "resume partitioning", removed the relatime option and then selected "Finish partitioning" again. After that partitions were created correctly and the installation continued with base installation.
