Anybody done an install on a Dell Poweredge 2300 recently that can help me ?

The 4.1 install seems to run OK, it sees the hard drive I have connected to 
the internal Adaptec 7860 (a 2GB Seagate), and it sees the RAID 
controller.  The first time I tried the install, I had geometry problems, 
so I turned off the geometry translation on the Adaptec controller.  The 
next time I tried installing, the boot failed - I get a message from the 
BIOS that prompts me to hit F1 to retry the reboot or F2 to enter setup.

Any ideas ?  What's the deep magic needed here ?

Thanks,
Craig
