Hello all, I have recently completely cleared all the cruft off of this P3-700 with 2 9GB Seagate SCSI drives, and 1 Maxtor 40GB drive. I ran this on it apparently successfully (after booting from the 5.1 live filesystem cd): dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 I am now trying to install 5.1 on this machine, using Express install, and I get this error after telling the machine to use the whole slice on da0: "Too many active children of 'whole'" What does this mean? I have not done anything since. What does this mean, and what should I be doing now that I have seen this error. Thanks for any help any of you may provide. Frank
