Howdy,
 
  I've been attempting to install 2.0 on a SCSI drive attached to a Future
Domain 950 (yeah, yeah, I know they suck, but it is the only supported ctlr
I have). When I write the MBR in FDISK, I get a dialog box "Invalid
Argument" and at the bottom of the screen "Disk doesn't have MBR",
"writedisklabel: MSP with no BSD part". The geometry reported by the startup
probe is 2405 cyls, 6 hds, 72 secs and 507 MB. I tried changing the geometry
in FDISK to 32 secs, 64 hds and 507 cyls. The SCSI drive is the second
drive, the first is a IDE which I was able to FDISK  and LABEL but with a
really small slice. I can write a boot record to the SCSI (I suppose, no
complaints). Any pointers would be appreciated.

Completely lost,
Richard
