It asked me to insert a disk to be mounted as root and I inscerted the install disk 1. Well that worked ok but i ran in to a problem thorught the install program. It asked me about the hard disk and i gave it the specs for the hard disk and well it could not write a lable to the harddisk so it tried to install the os onto the floppie. Needless to say that it ran out of space. What would cause this to happen (installing to disk instead of hard disk)? Also has any one installed NetBSD or the like on a Maxtor 7120 (it is an ide drive with 124 or 130 meg)? Please help !!!!! thanks Sunili
