The 20040430 images are pretty old. A lot has happened since then. Could you please try again using [1]? If the disk is recognized, you should have /dev/disks/disk0/... while the installer is running. /dev/hda is used after the first reboot. If it fails again, please file an installation report [2] and, if at all possible, include the logfiles in /var/log. > The bit of the installer where it's telling you to partition your > discs is a bit confusing in this case, when there aren't any discs. > You might want to consider not offering to partition them when there > aren't any. This has been observed before and will probably be fixed in a next release.
