Actually, I want to make my laptop a dedicated BL3
system. This means that I want to thoroughly delete
the vfat filesystem and put a ext2 filesystem onto it.
I am not interested in making my laptop a dual boot
system.

Here is what the problem is:

I have tried running fdisk /dev/hda and I keep trying
to set up the partition. Then I run mke2fs /dev/hda.
It tells me that I setting up the whole device and not
just a partition. I select to continue anyway.

The problems comes when I run install-to-hd. I get the
error message that it cannot find an ext2 filesystem
on hd. How do I correct/overcome this dilemma?

Pax,

Christopher
