Yes, I did.....however, I found the problem.  For some reason 4.3 didn't
dedect the correct HD geometry, even though it displayed the correct disk
size.  I didn't notice this at first because 4.2, which I installed on the
same box 3 weeks earlier, had no problems with it and it installed fine out
of the box.  Once I entered the correct geometry everything works just fine.
