The current version of the Anaconda installer in the Centos 6.5 repository is 13.21.215-1.
By checking out that source code, we can see that the installer has sanity checks for the storage configuration (starting at 1008 of storage/__init__.py).
Part of those sanity checks assert that the following directories must be on the root filesystem and thus cannot be on separate mountpoints
mustbeonroot = ['/bin','/dev','/sbin','/etc','/lib','/root', '/mnt', 'lost+found', '/proc']
If you remove the separate mount you have created for /root (perhaps allocate the space to your / pointpoint if possible), the installer will likely allow you to continue.

The OP clearly wants separate mountpoints for some of his directories. The point is to understand why/rootcannot be placed on a separate partition not to put everything on the same. And where does that4.5Gbcome from exactly? In which way is it relevant here?

Mar 25 '14 at 9:13
@lgeorget, I suppose the installer complains that there's nothing mounted on/. You need a root filesystem in any case.
