Comments/Problems:
Eventually I ended up using expert 26.
Detect CD: failed until I specified correct device
/dev/discs/.....(?)
Load installer modules: reports of many modules associated with ide and
sata not loading, but nevertheless the install proceeded.
Reboot:
The following error occured:
/sbin/init: 431 cannot open dev/console: no such file
kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
Prior to reboot the installer apparently thought the hd was /dev/hda and
set up grub accordingly. Upon reboot the hd was identified as /dev/sda.
Rebooted with installation CD far enough to mount hd and edit fstab to
change /dev/hda references to /dev/sda. Rebooted of hd and within Grub
edited bootup to change "root=/dev/hda3" to "root=/dev/sda3". Bootup
proceeded. Now I am continuing with the install.
Let me know if you need me to test these issues further.
