  No fancy box, I was using it as a server, so I slap a cheap S3 Virge in it.
The graphics is not a big deal, but what is bothering me is inability to use
fdisk to partition (if I do that from console 2, I have to way to use that
partition table). I believe disk druid puts BSD labels by default, but as I'm
using MILO, I don't want it.

  As I tried SRM on this box before, it reported my SCSI CDROM 7 times. ARC
doesn't do this. I know it's not a SCSI ID problem, because I tried setting it
to different SCSI IDs with no effect.
