Hi All,
	Before I ran out of hairs, I wonder if anybody out there that
	can help me installing Linux on a 1Gig Scsi ( conner 1080s )
	so far:
		1. I did "jumped it" right. (talked with conner's tech)
		2. I did use the same boot disks set that I used on a
		   450Mg SCSI.  
		3. Same hardware platform.
	Symptoms:
		1. after fdisk,  swapon, and installing basic set
		reboot just hang.  I don't thing it even reached LILO yet.
		(since I didn't see "LILO:" )
	
	Remarks:
		1. my disk parameters, printed on a label:
		Cyl: 3659, Heads:6, Sectors: 65-119.
		( I didn't understand the value of Sectors.  I will try to
		call Conners tomorrow about it).
		when I ran Linux's fdisk, it told me:
		Cyl:1030, Heads:64, Sectors: 32

		I did not try to install the boot partition above 1024.
  	I did try to read HOW-TO SCSI, but not the most recent version.
	I will try to visit sunsite tonight.  Any pointers would be 
	...heavenly helpfull.  If you could email it, I would be 
	gratefull.  

Thanks you for reading, I feel much better now. :)
