Thanks for feedback and suggestions however I'm still no further forward. Here's the
latest on your comments and suggestions.
Rich:
I was only running a 256M machine and the docs recommend 512 for a vnc installation. I
raised the memory to 512, tried again but still got the same error.
Marcy:
I can't see any I/O errors on the console.
Janek:
I used DASDFMT to format the disks using cdl disk layout. I then used FDASD to
partition the disk. Do I need to do anything else to put a filesystem on it?
Doug:
I've tried using NFS but the mount times out after a long wait with the following
message:
mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
When I've encountered this before it was because of some firewall type issue on the
client side; the request was getting through to the server but the response wasn't
getting back to the client. Did you have any such problems with an NFS install? Is
there something I'm missing?
Thanks again for the feedback so far, I really appreciate it.
Nigel

Perhaps I should have added that different installation methods have
different storage requirements. You may want to verify with the readme
that 256MB is enough for a VNC install. I use 256MB for a ssh install.
You can certainly step down the virtual machine size after install.
