More information, it seems the drive was reformatted but never
partitioned.
In order to get the system to a point where I could use it,
I once again install Ubuntu and then rebooted onto the
LiveCD.
This time I used 'Skip' instead of 'Auto' and it asked me
which partition I wanted to use. I selected hda1 and it
seems to install the OS but I end up with this:
Which drive should GRUB modify the boot partition on? [hda]
Setting up grub: cat: /sys/block//removable: No such file or directory
/opt/vyatta/sbin/install-system: line 570: [: ==: unary operator expected
This looks like a removable drive.
Setting root grub device to (0,0).
OK
Done!
It seems to installed grub correct and the drive boots, but
has problems with doing a fsck because the drive is mounted
and gets to a single user prompt (root passwd or ctrl-D). Once
the ctrl-D it goes boots the rest of the way (with a few errors
like trying to mount a non-existent floppy drive) but other
wise it does come up to a login prompt. (I may sit down and
try to catch the errors sometime in the future).
So it seems like the install-system needs some work to
clean it up and make sure that it can partition a drive
correctly.
But I think I'm at a point where I can now at least start to
configure the OFR which I have been looking forward to for a
while now. I'm looking forward to sometime next month when
QOS should be ready as I run a VoIP PBX in my home and need
to have QOS.
