BSD labels can't be found

Applies to

SuSE Linux AXP: Version 6.1

Symptom:

You want to install SuSE 6.1 for Alpha-AXP from the SRM console as written in the SuSE Handbook. You've already given a BSD-Label but YaST doesn't recognize it later in the installation procedure.

Cause:

YaST can't find the BSD label when another hardrive with partitions that use a different file system (NTFS...etc.) exists.

Solution:

Remove the other harddrive during the installation of SuSE Linux, after installation you can reinstall it.
