Subject: [suse-sparc] installation on SS20

    hi all,
    when i try to install Suse 7.3 on my Sun SparcStation 20, yast can't format
    the partitions.

    after i enter the password for root and make a default user account etc,
    yast tries to prepair the hd for the installation and then i get the error
    message:
    - swap-partition /dev/sda2 could not be created [ok]
    - impossible to format /dev/sda1 , i can click on continue or try again,
    but nothing will work.... and here stops the installation :(

    both 1.05GB HDs have a sun disk label or slice, which covers the whole
    harddrive.
    i am not sure if i need to delete that label or not.
    do i need to make changes to the configuration of Silo?
    any help would be most appreciated

    regards
    Chris
