Tried again to do the install. It still panics and barfs all over the Jaz drive unless i pop the cart out. In the Novice setup sequence (i didn't feel i had enough documentation to try anything more exciting) the fdisk screen only shows me the first 3 or 4 drives on channel 0, and doesn't show me channel 1 at all. Since essentially all my free space is in the second 2GB of device 4, channel 0, and device 0, channel 1, i feel a wee bit hosed. The idea of laboriously re-ordering and re-organising all my disks so as to bring the free space within reach doesn't appeal. Some part of the install process also appeared to do something obnoxious to System Commander 3.0, resident in c:\sc. - i had to entirely reinstall. I presume it was FBSD wot dunnit because SC was working fine immediately prior to my install attempt. The symptom was that SC would try to put up its first display, but then hang tight, forcing me to deadstart. All advice gratefully accepted. =margaret
