I think i found the problem.
on DSL 0.7.1 it has fdisk from
BusyBox v1.00-pre5 which is ok.
DSL 0.7.2 use BusyBox v.100-pre10 doesn't read hdd partition properly
New version of BusyBox might be the culprit.

Here is my solution
Restore gnu util first.
Gnu Util
Then you can install dsl 0.72
However, running dsl as LiveCD can not replace /usr/sbin/fdisk
(read only)

So i extract fdisk from dsl-sys.tar.gz
to /home/damnsmall/

then
cp /usr/sbin/dsl-hdinstall /home/damnsmall/myinstall
beaver myinstall
edit line 88 (insert ./ before fdisk)
FDISK="$(./fdisk -l blah blah....)
save and execute myinstall
