I was able to get the system installed using rc1 in a very roundabout way:
I created the partition table automatically using rc1 and selecting the option to use a single partition. They were created as follows: SCSI1 (0,1,0) (sda) - 4.2 GB SEAGATE ST34573N # > #1 primary 33.7 MB K # > #2 primary 130.8 MB K ext2 /boot # > #5 logical 3.9 GB B K ext3 / # > #6 logical 194.1 MB K swap swap # I then netbooted with lifimage from woody. I formatted and test mounted /boot as ext2 and / as ext3. They worked fine so I unmounted and rebooted. Next I netbooted using rc1. I chose manual partitioning and configured the partitions to be mounted on the appropriate mount points, but not formatted. The installer proceeded and everything appeared to work fine. I rebooted the system and it needed to fsck / /dev/sda5: Backing up journal inode block information. /dev/sda5 has gone 49419 days without being checked, check forced. /dev/sda5: ***** REBOOT LINUX ***** /dev/sda5: 10465/480960 files (0.7% non-contiguous), 69162/960651 blocks Once the system rebooted again it did an fsck on /boot and everything started up as normal. I'm sure this report isn't as helpful as it would be if I had access to a second virtual console, but unfortunately the hardware simply doesn't allow it. :( -z -- zac sprackett zac at sprackett dot com ottawa, canada http://zac.sprackett.com gpg fingerprint: cc8a db41 4b47 abd0 c6ce befc 5fcc fdf4 4de6 f9ce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
