Hmm when I choose dasdfmt in the partition screen, I get the hourglass for a
few seconds and then nothing. Continuing onward, it fails again with the
same thing, trying to set the disk label of /dev/dasda to msdos. I installed
Centos Linux on this Hercules as well other OSs and they work so I'm
confident of our Hercules installation, there's just something about this
SUSE. My next attempt is to dasdinit the 3390-9 again w/o -linux, not format
it during the System Analysis phase, and tell it to dasdfmt during the
partition phase.

Do you recall what disk device type you used? I have them defined as

0120 3390 /hercules/suse390/dasd/linux.120
0121 3390 /hercules/suse390/dasd/linux.121

and in dasdinit, I used 3390-2 and 3390-9 as the device types. BTW I'm
running Hercules on our SUSE 9 system.
Thanks,
Paul
