I've downloaded s/w 9.1 and was able to boot the install kernel, etc. I have a question, I'm trying to do a dasdfmt and I get the following displayed: <snip> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~4 dasdfmt -b 4096 -f /dev/dasda dasdfmt: Unable to open device /dev/dasda: No such device [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~5 </snip> I have used this particular linux guest for other installs, so I know the dasd is there. Does the dasd need a special label or format record on it?
