Not sure if this is a bug in the installer or what but I can tell you that the installer seems to do what it says it will do. I boot a G5 with the latest 12.0b4 installer dvd and go through the usual motions wherein I select a whole disk auto ufs install and allow the installer to do whatever magic it does for an Apple type partition. Every other type of partition results in a popup message that simply says this platform can not support or boot or grok this partition. So I go with the Apple type. Nothing else fancy here. At first boot I get a load of text and then a strange prompt that seems to be asking where is the root filesystem? It also lists all the various filesystems found. I tried to enter ufs:/dev/adas2 and similar things but this gets me nothing but an unrecognized filesystem message. So .. something obvious? Dennishelp
