tlaronde - Thank you for the abstract you sent. It sent me to the
manual pages, which is almost always a good thing. In the prep(8)
online manual page, I found the following listed as a bug:
"If prep –p doesn't find a Plan 9 partition table, it will emit
commands to delete all extant partitions. Similarly, fdisk –p will
delete all partitions, including data, if there are no partitions
defined in the MBR."
Could this be what has been whacking my extended partitions?
Anyway, I'm going to do a lot more reading before a third attempt at
installing. I want to make sure everything is ready before jumping in
again.
Thanks,
Terry.
