Output of that command is - brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Oct 17 09:50 /dev/hda > > cat /proc/partitions output- major minor #blocks name 7 0 214980 loop0 3 0 4194304 hda > > ls -l /sys/block quite a lot of stuff - I could do a screenie if it will help. Basically lists fd0, hda,hdc loop0 to 7, md0 and several ram entries, 0 to 15. I am going to pre-partition the virtual drive with another distro now - that should allow me to install Yoper with no problem, based on my earlier install with Y2.91. Why exactly the installer cannot work with clean drives I am not sure - but I know others have reported this with real hard drives as well as the virtual variety.
