So last night I tried to re-size the partitions (RD54)... copied it to 
part. a, b, and e .... I obtain 
the same behaviour, stops after "The Regents....." same for all 
partitions, 
so I changed to a RD32, obtained the same behaviour. I didn't obtain this 
'command....' during the installation.

Somewhere I must be doing something wrong, or??. My VS2000 is also a 
KA410-B V2.2. could this be a problem??? (anybody out there manage to 
boot this version)...... I guess I have to wait for the installation 
instructions  for VS2000???? :-( 

Maybe using mop could solve my problems?,
