Well, I have tried to install on two different 400Mg HD's now with no luck.
One was a Conner and the other was a Western Digital. I traded out the IDE
CD-ROM for a SCSI CD-ROM. It is now a tiny bit more consistent about where
it fails. It completes the NEWFS and starts to unpack data. It then fails
saying it wrote -1 bytes. It asks if I want to try again. Even if I say yes,
it traps a fatal error and starts to re-boot the system. Could someone who has
actually installed this on a system with IDE HD's let me in on the secret??!!
