RE: Best Manual for Scratch Install

Joe,

	They will stay there at that SRC for over 45 minutes on a scratch
install, nothing to worry about. That is normal. Go get a cup of coffee, or
some lunch.

Thanks, Pete.  If it came with the box, then I'm sure I have it around
somewhere.  This is a five-year-old machine, and I'm attempting my very
first scratch install.  I've never installed an iSeries before, and it's
been enlightening.

I've upgraded machines in the past, but there's no upgrade path here because
I had to replace the disk drives.  Unfortunately, I don't think the disk
drives are wanting to come up (or maybe they're incompatible with my RAID
card), because I'm hung at C6004031, and the disks just keep occasionally
clacking as if they're being accessed but not returning the information the
270 wants to hear.
