Hello,

with BETA7 it's not possible to create two slices because sysinstall then=20
marks these two slices active!

Another question: Why is sysinstall (and fdisk) reading CHS values to compl=
ain=20
about them? I have a NULLed disk (lowlevel formated) and sysinstall complai=
ns=20
about wrong geometry, regardless of the BIOS setting.

Another problem (which I originaly started in questions@ [MBR not overwrita=
ble=20
with dd?]) with fdisk is that it shows a certain partition in the table wit=
h=20
a start sector 63 and id 165 on a completely NULLed disk, so there's no=20
partition table and MBR at all. That's not the way it should work is it?
