When I run sysinstall from the boot floppy, I create the slice and the 
console messages window shows the devices for slice 2 being made.. but 
when I try to create partitions, it tries to write them to Slice 1!! This
is preventing any further continuation into the installation process, which
is annoying!

I have a P100 (PCI), onboard eide controller, a Fujitsu ~528mb drive

Any ideas?
Jason
