hamm installation disks (1998-02-21)

[Sen Nagata <sen_ml@eccosys.com>]

hello-

  not sure if this is where i should mention this -- please redirect
me if that is the case :-)

  i've tried the hamm installation disks dated 1998-02-21 and cannot 
partition the hard drive i want to install on to.  i get a message about
not being able to detect the hard disk.  during the boot process, the
scsi card is recognized (tekram), and the hard disk is also recognized
(scsi: 1 host -- an ultra wide ibm 4.3 gig hard disk).

  i've tried the disks on identical hardware w/ the same results.  has anyone
else had any luck w/ this kind of setup?

p.s. w/ the disks dated feb 18th, i successfully installed a system
(this was for an ide drive though), but i had a few problems:

1) i needed to install some packages (mostly perl-related) to get the
ftp method of dselect to work

2) could not make a boot disk -- i tried quite a few different floppies
but i kept getting a 'boot disk creation failure' message.
