I installed using eckd disks. I had a hard time. My install would hang. Then I went into the mini install shell and used dasdfmt and then fdisk to create just twm partitions (/boot and /) on the drive. The next reboot worked fine. I did not use lvm,
I ended up doing the whole install onto one partition.
