This occurred with 5.3/5.4-Release, 6-Current snapshot
from June/July, and 6.0-BETA1/2. So I have tried them
all. I have tried both a minimal cd using my NFS
server to downloading the 6.0-BETA2 disc1. I always
do a minimal install and as far as partitions I have
tried the following;
1) Dangerously dedicated with one partition
2) One 20GB partition on a 40G HD
and
3) Dual-booting with Windows hoping the NT loader
woudl boot it.
I even tried an FTP install from a mirror so I have
tried several combos. I dont see how it is a
configuration error when it happens each time. Please
elaborate?
