Thanks Robert.  I've always used VNC for installing. Guess I will now have
to use SSH until they fix the problem.
About the workaround, after activating the disks, I usually select Format
from the [Perform Action] dropdown menu.  Is that not the same as running
dasdfmt.
Can I contact you offlist so as not to burden the rest of the community
with the details.
