Installation CD fails to mount XFS drive as /

I am trying to install arch on a old Vaio laptop. I can boot from the CD, then it fails, so I copied a few files and modules on to a small hd partion with damn small linux. So fare every thing seems to work ok... but

when I set the mount points the / on my xfs hda1 fails. I loaded the module with loaddisk fs2.img. I can do
> mkfs.xfs /dev/hda1

but I can't mount it.

me> mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
linux> mounting /dev/hda1 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument

me> mount /dev/hda1/ /mnt/
linux> mounting /dev/hda1/ on /mnt/ failed: Not a directory

What am I doing wrong?

(it works with reiser, ext2 and ext3)

Do you use 0.7.2 iso or 0.8?
