Sorry about the lack of information guys, heres a few
more details

first, I am using a SCSI drive, not ide, so its not
that.

and I get the installer to run clear until the package
installation.  The hard drive is even paritioned and
formatted.  I am positive its scsi related though. 
I'll get my bootx stuff up here asap, but I'm already
late for class, so I gotta run.
