AH! Finally, i burned a new floppy from the 7.1-2 iso cd-rom. (cdrom.img) and
booted with the cd-r in my ide-cdrom burner. Although it would be much faster
to install it by using my scsi-cdrom (readonly drive, 12x), but this cdrom.img
has a BUG with the adaptec 152x scsi interface! (see prev posts).
Well, with the new cd.img and the install cdrom (7.1-2) in my ide cdrom burner
(4x) it will now take me to the partitioning part of the install process and
will list/show both hdd's! 'cept, i put off d/l'ing & burning the new ext
cdrom until now.
After the burn of ext, i will try installing (sigh, although it might take a day
or 2 to install from a 4x cdrom).
<it certainly seems that the install process has a problem with the scsi
adaptec 152x interface detection phase which will not allow the install process
to continue onto the partitioning phase. maybe it's trying to install thru my
scsi interface thinking the hdd's are actually connected to it? in reality,
the hdd's are ide and the ide is on the motherboard! mmmmmm>

actually, no probs getting booted but will try the newer cd.img including
hd.img to see if any difference.
problem isn't with the cd.img anymore...it's just the basic simple task of
installing w/ the cdrom iso (2nd one!) aand having the install process detect a
hdd to install to!
(NO VALID DEVICES WERE FOUND ON WHICH TO CREATE NEW FILESYSTEMS)
in other words, it cant start the partitioning tool. this is highly irregular
with an ordinary ide hdd (western digital 27gb...including a 10gb)....mmmmm
this is my 4th cd-r burned and the latest one i burnt was 7.0-2 (may3)
btw: i'm selling coasters for you nice new shiney coffee tables. if your
intersted, contact me at ....
