Comments/Problems: DASD configures, and partitions, but fails to write

DASD formats, and goes through the configuration. Desired setup was to have / on one larger disk, /usr on the
other, and /boot on the small disk. No swap initially (there will be vdisk for that later). Also tried setting up
a single large disk for everything. Once I accept any of the configurations, I get the following error:

┌──────────────┤ [!!] Partition disks ├──┐
             │                      ERROR!!!                      │
             │ VTOC: seeking on device failed -- vtoc_write_label │
             │ Could not write VTOC labels.                       │

The disks are R/W. I was able to format them with CPFMTXA, and the initial Linux format works. I’ve tried
with and without both, with no change in behavior. Virtual machine definition follows:

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old, more than 2.5 years.

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log 
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
