[Wizard] Install failing

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips for installing RH9 on
the wizard.  So far I've tried

1) mounting the RH9 isos on the drive and adding the boot disk kernal
and initrd to the lilo menu and booting this way.  All was going fine
until it tired to start anaconda and then the machine hung

2) Put the 5G HDD in another machine with a 2.5" - 3.5" adaptor and
install RH9 that way.  When I swap the drive back to the wizard it
reboots itself as it is decompressing the kernel

3) as above but installed with the "noprobe" option.  Same issue

4) hacked a standard floppy drive cable and used the 2.5" adaptor to
connect a floppy to the floppy connector on the wizard.  The floppy is
not recognised and I get the floppy disk fail (40) error.  I think this
may have something to do with there being no connection at pin 20.

So, I'm a bit stuck. Maybe its something as simple as RH9 just doesn't
work on this hardware...

How have others installed something on these beasts?

Thanks Ed
