Ah - if only I could ascribe this to beer! Too much coffee
perhaps... anyway, as I've already stated, if I restart from the
installer cd-rom and use diskdrake from there as part of the
installation procedure, I can see hdd with no problem. I even went
back in and re-created the partitions in the hope of shaking the
system into shape. Nope - still 'no hdd' in my normal bootup. I am
puzzled.
