The drives I use (Yamaha CRW8424S [ID2] and Toshiba CD-ROM XM-5701TA
[ID3]) run perfectly with MiNT and ExtenDOS.

Thanks for the warnings but don't worry - I am unable to install to a
SCSI partition because I only have IDE hard disks installed in my
falcon. ;-)

Hmm, perhaps that is the reason why my tries failed? Anyway, I think I
won't be able to try an installation procedure again until the SCSI
issues are fixed. Just keep me informed when there is an update available.
