This seems to be an overflow error caused by the installer don't expect this much space, usually using less bits to represent the drive's size. If you find the cause in the installer script you can change that, or, put some stuff onto your sys drive temporarily to try and fix this.

e.g. older 'Info' commands did not recognize multi-GB drives correctly.

If the second option is feasable, try it first. Just dump a big movie file onto your Sys: partition to reduce its free space.

Yes. Just leave a reasonable free space left, not in the GB ballpark if possible.

This is a common problem with older software. For instance installing AMOS face the same issue. Those installers are expecting several 100s of MB hard drive space, not GB. So they fail because of the number sizes they account for, like millions vs billions.
