Comments/Problems:

My appologies if this list is long and boring, but here's what
happened.

1. Booted OK from boot.img via "boot net"
2. Installer downloaded and started hardware detection - attempted to
install qlogicisp module - incorrect, as qlogicfc is needed.
3. manually did "modprobe -v qlogicfc" - short delay, module loaded.
4. detected both disks OK, used auto-partitioning as multi-user
workstation. Only partitioned a total of 18Gb of the drive. No free
space evident.
5. manually partitioned the second drive as /home, same space problem
(suspect incorrect drive geometery or LBA support)
6. Installed base system.
7. rebooted.
8. Get message "remapping the kernel", then "fast data access mmu
miss", then back to the "ok" prompt.
