Hi,

I am trying to install 2.1.7 on a 386SX16 with two IDE hard drives (420
and 310 meg). The 420MB drive has a 90 meg DOS partition. I
partition and label my drives with no reported errors...including on the
debug screen. However later when sysinstall does the disklabel and tries
to mount the slices top put the distribution on I get:

Error mounting wd1s1e/dev//mnt on /mnt/usr: No such file or directory.

In a box on my screen - nothing on the debug screen. I get the same error
for all my slices. Sysinstall continues to try and install only as it has
to /usr etc it tries to install (I think) into / and dies a bit later when
it runs out of disk space.

I'm installing via FTP over PPP although I think thats irrelevant.

Thanks for any help,

Andrew
