I already had created a 16 GB HDD but when I tried to install to disk it
said something about cflash and failed. I had tried a couple of disk
options that did not work. In looking at the information you posted it
looked like you were using USB so I tried that and it worked after doing
the low level file system partitioning, typing the partition to 83 for
Linux and creating an ext3 file system.
