Very true.
RedHat formats it's partitions so milo can "see" on them. The trick
is to get the install going, let mandrake format the partitions (then
the devices are visible to you) and then climb into the shell and
format them yourself, with the right options -bs 1024 -O none I beleive.
Once reformatted, restart the install. This time round don't let
mandrake
format the partition.
This applies to the partition which is carrying the kernel. Once the
kernel is up and running, it can see sparse superblock formatted
partitions.
Me thinks we need to put this info somewhere in a FAQ, and maybe help
the milo people to get sparse superblock support in (long-term).
