This should be fine.  I'm using 7.5.3 on my Q610 and the installer seems to
have no problems.  How many drives are on this system??  Also, what size??

Which version of mkfs did you use???  Please make sure you're using version
1.4.  Also, what kind of a/ux partition did you make??  Was it a "root & usr
partition" or a "usr slice 0" partition??  How many partitions appear on this
disk??  Did you create the /etc/fstab file with the older installer??  There
was a bug in installer 1.1 that could create fstab files with the wrong 
numbering.  Try doing a "fstab force" from the mini-shell window with
installer 1.1e.  If you're using installer 1.1e, it should give you a 
"disklabel" style listing of your drive(s) as one of the first things it does.
If nothing else helps, send me that listing.

p.s.  Both the installer and mkfs used to have problems with large partitions
	on disks greater than 1GB.  That's why the recommendation to make sure
	you are using the latest of both of those.  Thanks again to Bob Nestor
	for the fix there.
