I just tried to install dfly from the iso in the link above.

First of all, the installer looks fine.

But I can not format the hard drive.
newfs /dev/da1s1a times out, and the log reports

'write error: 80
->>> Exit status: 36'

The CD boots from an ide cd-rw unit, and the target
disk is a scsi disk, scsi id 1, attached to the mpt1 device.

Is using scsi hard drives a known issue?
