At this point I don't know, I've already started a new install, with a
different 1.2G drive.

Yep, had it up and running with two 1.2G drives. Then I got the data off
the 9G and put a Sun disk label on it (tried installing without doing
that first, and it was a no-go; Bad magic number), and stuck it in place
of the second (top) drive.

I wonder if I have to fib in the disk label?

Hmmm... maybe.

Probably, though I'm suspecting it's the disk label. I'm going to try
changing it if this install dies.
