That worked fine; thanks!
Now I have problem in dealing with partitioning.
I partitioned my hard drive in advance using pdisk (I have an install
of LinuxPPC on another drive), and mkfs'ed all the partitions I
wanted to use to house file systems. I then followed this path:
-> Use existing partitions
-> Choose mount points (I type in the mount points for the various
partitions I set up, e.g., "/", "/usr", "/tmp")
-> Choose the partitions you want to format
At this point, if I select all but the partitions that already have
stuff on them (e.g. /home), I get (exactly as the message appears):
"An error occurred
swap area needs to be."
If on the other hand I select all but the partitions that have data
on them AND the swap partitions, I get:
"An error occurred
swapon(sda4) failed: No such device or address."
But /dev/sda4 (the swap partition) IS in fact visible if I run pdisk
on VT#2.
