Hi there,

I'm a newbie myself, so this will probably not work, but here goes anyway:

login as root or su to root, and select Config->Media->DOS

This is the install program and you are telling it to install from a DOS
partition, so it lists all those that are available.  Your NT drives
should appear here (well, my win98 drives do, anyway).

Good luck!
