Thanks for your advice, Takashi. Unfortunately, this wasn't the
problem. After trying your suggestion I went ahead and re-installed a
third time, this time destroying all three partitions before
installation.
As before, after the install the machine booted fine. Instead of
starting X, this time I just logged in as the normal user I had
created, the su'd to root and shut the machine down. Those were the
only commands I ran.
I restarted and the dreaded "/dev/hda9 is mounted. Cannot continue,
aborting." message appeared again. How can this happen with a fresh
install?
What should I do next? Again, many thanks for any help!
