Comments/Problems:
I had some problems with partioning the hard-disks.
I have two SCSI discs
* sda (old SCSI drive, 4GB) is connected to QLogic ISP1020 internal SCSI controller
* sdb (new SCSI drive, 18GB) is connected to AHA-2940 PCI-card controller.
I do need the old drive to boot the system, and after bootup the AHA controller
is used to store root-fs on sdb.
So, my setup was:
* sda, partition 0, aboot-partition
* sda, partition 1, /boot mount point, ext2
* sdb, partition 0, / (root-fs), ext3
During installation I configured everything as above, but the debian istaller
only created the root-fs on sdb. sda was not prepared as wished by me.
After going back and do it again, I now could set up the desired setup on sda.
Beside this small ugliness, the other installation went perfectly.
Thanks,
Helge
