Hi again,
I've had no problem with the 7600 or 7300 that I've installed on
(both done with 64MB & 128MB). I found that if I did the partition for Mac
OS using drive setup from the 9.1 install CD & as per the install guide,
left the rest as 'Unallocated', then did the rest of partitioning using the
YDL graphical installer & it worked for me.
I have no way of knowing if you partitioned like I did, but if not,
then maybe that might be a problem.
I have had problems with earlier versions of Drive setup - try the
latest, so I guess that could be a problem also. Just a few suggestions in
case they help. Good luck.
Bye for now, Terry Allen
