Stew,

on 7500, I still cannot install. Still using beta2 iso CDs.

Did move my Quantum FireBall Tm1280 to internal bus. No difference.
Then, I made 3 partitions with MacOS tool on fireball disk. Now I can proceed 
until I have to reuse partitions for Linux. Latest try was to use all except 
some minor driver partitions for Apple stuff and give it to 3 linux 
partitions: /, swap and /home. When pressing FORMAT or CONTINUE button - 
FREEZE and reboot of 7500. MacOS will then complain on this disk (wrong 
format), so I launch partitioning tool (v1.7.2) again.

In case, I do not re-initialize fireball disk with MacOS tool after FREEZE or 
CONTINUE issue (but pdisk on Mac is telling me that partitions exist with 
correct type Apple_UNIX_SVR2), installer crashes in 2nd stage immediately 
with panic.
I also saw after crash that 2 partitions had identical names - i renamed 
using pdisk to / and /home (which did not happen in installer)  - again 
installer crashes in 2nd stage immediately with panic.

Found some very old complaints on net on:
- sequence of partitions - some users claim not to use swap as last on disk
- kick out fireball disk
- change SCSI ids to not use 0 (I'm using that id for my IBM disk)
- IBM and TI options per disk to disable (will try this too)

Still some time left this weekend......"the show must go on"
Michael
