Hello again,

I am attempting to install on a i486. 

I don't know if I am doing something wrong or not. The problem seems to
be at the point where the screen says:

"Migrating from floppy to disk...

Scanning /dev/hd1c for bad blocks. (Hit DEL to stop the scan if are
absolutely sure that there can not be any bad blocks. Otherwise just
wait.)"


How long is "just wait"? I have let it go for about 3 1/2 hours so far.

The hd is aprox. 450 Meg. 

Is this normal, or maybe something wrong with the ROOT USR disk?

Sorry for the rookie questions.

Thank you in advance. 

Shawn
