What version of MySQL?  It's working okay for me with 5.0.x.

An example continuum.xml file is below, and it can be pre-configured.
However if you can't get past that page, then it sounds like Continuum
is having trouble writing to the database or to the file.  You should
only be prompted for general configuration once.  If it's happening
every time, then something else is wrong and you may run into more
problems.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<continuum-configuration>
  <baseUrl>http://localhost:8966/continuum</baseUrl>
  <buildOutputDirectory>/path/to/continuum-data/build-output-directory</buildOutputDirectory>
  <workingDirectory>/path/to/continuum-data/working-directory</workingDirectory>
  <releaseOutputDirectory>/path/to/continuum-data/release-output-directory</releaseOutputDirectory>
</continuum-configuration>
