Details

Install disk 0.7.0 (Wombat) easily sets up network and installs GRUB to a seperate physical IDE MBR (hda) drive with a SCSI drive (sda1) as root, 0.7.1 (Noodle)will do neither one with or without modprobing modules in a virtual console, whether or not typical install, quickinst, or FTP is performed. Arch can be set up totally with Wombat from CD and then upgraded post-install, but this is a much lengthier process due to the vast differences between the new packages and their configuration files, so I am hoping the next install disk is more capable.

Hardware= Nforce2 chipset, adaptec 29160N, Seagate 9.2gb 10k(rpm), Maxtor 80gb.

Please look into this if at all possible.
Thanks,

FYI, Knoppix 4.0 seems to have the same problem.
$mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
$mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
$mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
$mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys
$chroot /mnt /bin/bash
$install-grub /dev/hda /dev/sda1

error

Maybe I am doing something wrong.
