When you say "scratch volume" is it setup as some type of partition? If
there is any kind of "hole" in the partiion table, the installer get
confused as to which partition is which. The installer should be creating
as a minimum:
bootstrap
swap
"/"
Is /dev/hda14 the bootstrap? You czn get around this problem by
formatting it by hand.
Switch to VT2
hformat /dev/hda14
(please make sure it is the correct partition first!)
This was an older problem where I was attempting to format the bootstrap
before the partition table was committed to disk. I didn't think it was
on the ISO's though.
(got any more of those 20gb drives laying around? ;^))
