there's a problem with eide drives > 2Gb due to a sign sign extension bug
in the driver (the 'start' argument of ataxfer() should be of type ulong, not long).
perhaps someone could make a new kernel for you or you could subsitute a smaller
drive to get up then you can make the change yourself.

Dear Experts,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. The 9dos from dbSystems refuses to
do the installation also. I think I need to get a <2G HD.
Thanks again,

Just ignore the multi-ethernet support and speed... :-)

Dear Experts,
I've tried to install the system (Intel try-out version) onto a 4.3G
EIDE HD but failed. Everything seems fine until I select the "Install
the 3-floppy version" option. The installation application complains
about "Not enough disk space" when there's a 100MB DOS system as well
as when the disk is blank. Any clue for this?
Thanks in advance!

ps. How can I subscribe to the 9fans mailing list?
