The hard disk directory was built by copying the contents of redhat 9
install CDs 3, 2, 1 plus the rh 9 XFS install CD, in that order. That
is what is required for an nfs, ftp or http install, see README on rh
install CD 1. That README does not say what format is required for a
hard disk install so I assumed it was the same as NFS etc.
The messages I got on install only listed vfat and ext2 mount attempts.
I saw no attempts to mount the partition as xfs, no error messages and
no successful mount messages. This is what makes me think that the xfs
module was not loaded. Pity here was no shell on alt-f2, otherwise I
could have confirmed my hypothesis.
