I managed (after a lot of screwing around with termination, and connector order, etc) to get to the fdisk screen, define the partitions, but as soon as I try to install after selecting my distribution (developer) and calling for the CDROM install, I get: "panic - going nowhere without my init!" At this point I'm wildly speculating that maybe I need a good, internal active terminator. Any and all clues appreciated! James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
