I'm trying to help someone install the 951005 SNAP on a
Micron Pentium 100 box.  It's configured with:

Micronics motherboard
48mb RAM
256k cache
BT946C disk controller
Seagate 4gig Barracuda
3Com 3C509 ethernet card

The disk partitioning appears to work OK, but when I go to
the disklabel section and attempt to write the changes to
the disk, I get:

Unable to create new root filesystem.  Command returned status 1.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a known problem?

Regards,

Chris
