Hello,

 I seem to have encountered some unexpected trouble installing RH6.2 on my
sparc. I'm installing over a serial line, and everything goes fine :

 boot from floppy, select install method, enter network config, ftp site for
packages, partition disk

After partitioning, I do a couple other routine things, setup the root and a
user account, and then the install script turns up an error trying to mount
sda1 - "Error mounting sda1: Invalid argument", and everything dies, install
shuts down. Anyone else have any problems like this, or ideas on what this
might be? I've ruled out the drive being bad, I've tested it in several
machines. Any help would be appreciated.
