I just got back from my trip to Dominica yesterday and read all the new entries in this thread including the thread mentioned by adssse. In that thread adssse mentioned that he added "dsl mydsl=hda2" to the boot options line. I tried that and it worked!
After that I did several more installs trying different combinations of parameters. My conclusion is that you must have "dsl mydsl=hda2" (without quotes) entered on the boot options line. If that statement is not there, it seems to default to hda1.
The frugal install script seems to ignore the entry you put on the line that ask you if you want to specify a default restore partition. I did a little further investigation and looked for lilo.conf files using midnight commander and found two instances ( /mnt/hda1/boot/lilo.conf and /cdrom/boot/lilo.conf ) where the append line contained the exact parameters that I entered during each install. Even though I specified hda2 as mydsl partition and it was shown on the append line, it did not work right unless I entered the "dsl mydsl=hda2" on the boot options line.
At any rate, we now know a work around for the problem and it works great.
Thanks adssse, ke4nt1, hawki, and all the rest of you who have contributed to this thread. You are a great group.
