<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well I'm stumped!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I got al the way to choose driver that Linux is on 
to start the install. So I chose Local CD-ROM and then a popup window comes up 
stating that if could not find Local CD-ROM. Well I looked at the jumpers and I 
think all are set right. One on PRV/ALV </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and one on ID 4 &amp; ID 2 So I don't understand 
what gives? .....................HELP!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>MILO / Anaconda found all the drives no errors 
except that partitions are not useable. No kidding I know I have to use Disk 
Druid or fdisk.&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Oh and by the way must I use fdisk or can I use 
Disk Druid. I have 5 scsi disks. 3. small one under 500mgs, 1. 1gig&nbsp; and 1. 
4gig. I would like to use Disk Druid cause the Installation Manual claims that 
with Disk Druid you can set up al the drives to be allowable with the option of 
using Allowable Drives in Disk Druid. I do have MS-DOS Partitions on two of the 
smaller harddrives. Does Disk Druid remove MS-DOS partitions and then set in the 
BSD disk labels or do I still then need to use fdisk.</FONT></DIV>
