I have a AlphaServer800 with 2x 9.1 gb scsi disks, when I try to install FreeBSD/alpha 5.2.1 release from cd, I cannot create any partitions, and I am not even presented with the Fdisk screen as on i386. If I try any of the options in the Disklabel i sometimes get a sigev11 and have to reboot. Any help would be appreciated. Mogamat
