Hello,
again me...
Iīve tried to partition the disk with fdisk, but when I started to write a new boot block, the following message....
FDISK
----------------------------
Warning: starting partitions at cylinder 1 will be bad for the health of your partition table --- start at cylinder 2 instead ?
(j/n)
But i canīt use the " j " only no ...
And the other operations of fdisk donīt work too ...
what shell i do ?
thankz.

A BSD disk label was not setup on your disk. If there is
no disk label or a BSD disk label on the disk, the RH
installer does the right thing. If there's a DOS disklabel
on the disk, it doesn't muck with it, leaving you with
an unbootable disk.
Restart the install, select Custom install, go into FDISK
on the disk you want to install too and type b <return>
then w <return>. That'll write a BSD disk label. Halt the
system at this point and restart the install as before.
The RH installer should see that the disk has a BSD
disk label now and will do the right thing.
Best of luck,
mike
