Hi Steve:
I was wondering did you try one of these two procedures:
1 Format the partition question with Apple's Disk Utility such that the
particular partition you which to create is formatted from within Disk
Utility and named as Untitled and partitioned as Free Space?
2. Format the partition in question within parted and then within
parted use mkpartfs to define the partition type, file system type
(ext3) the start and end of the partition?
If you do 1 or 2 then the YDL installer (anaconda) should have no
trouble seeing what has been created.

no I
have not seen them load.
Incidentally I just booted up my Gentoo 2005 install disk and
formatted the
usual partitions in the first 18gigs of free space thinking that the
YDL
installer would surely see the drive now, nope. Makes sense if the
modules
are not being loaded.
So what now?
Thanks

Subject: Re: [ydl-gen] Firewire install question
2 questions,
1. Does the OHCI and 1394 driver load when starting the
installer? (it'll be text on a blue background)
2. What kind of drive is it? And is it the first (or only) drive
in the firewire chain?
-Bill
and the extended aprtition. But YDL installer refuses to recognize
the
drive. Any ideas cause I’m fresh out?
Thanks!
