Where'd you get that idea?  I think this is one of the most responsive
electronic forums on the net.  BTW, I had to edit your message slightly
to get it through the majordomo 'resend' filter.  Sorry about that.

This sounds like the bug in Mkfs/partitioning software.  This might be
in the FAQ.  Some partitioning software doesn't write valid partition
maps and Mkfs was assuming that they would...  I think the latest version
of Mkfs fixed this, though.  What software are you using?

Could you help us out by telling us what you've filled in the booting
dialog window?  Did you specify the partition by name?  If so, try not
doing so--just specify the scsi ID and let it find the partition.
