Has anyone run across this sort of installation problem before?

Someone I know says he got the following error (followed by a reboot)
after fdisk/disklabelling, and proceeding with the installation:

        exec(stand/newfs) failed code=5888.

Here's his system description:

>Platform :
>        486/80 + 16MB Ram
>        1542b adaptec with a 1.6G Micropolis
>        single speed mitsumi :(
>        IDE with 1.6G Microp

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot,

Jon
