>Release:        3.0-19981009-BETA, also does it with the Oct 4th snap
>Environment:
Sorry, I am not able to get far enough to give a uname -a
>Description:
i downloaded the boot.flp, booted it, then proceed to go through the
normal install...

I tell it to use the entire drive, then begin to slice it up into
filesystems...  I tell it which versions to install, and such, set up the network interface so I can install from the internet as always,

the problem I have occurs when it tries to newfs the swap partition 
and doesnt get any further)
  
  Debug reports "DEBUG: unknown major/minor for devtype -"
  ( I believe this is in reference to da0, disk array 0, for raid array)
  I get the message on the debug console where it gives "Cross device
  link"
  error in newfs  and then a
  rewrite label error.
  
  Install then dies at this point, and never continues...  The install
  program
  returns an error, and I get booted back to the menu system.

I've tried different partition sizes, and different file system sizes.
It seems to newfs the swap partition, and before it can move on to newfs'ing the others.  Simon Shapiro has indicated that he does not believe this to be a problem with DPT specifically.
  
>How-To-Repeat:
Simply attempt an install, where I have to partition the drives
