1. Setup fails at the FDISK option when you auto partition:
"Deallocation of a pointer not malloced ... This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environmental variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug."
a. Instead, take the option to manually partition.
b. At the FDISK command prompt, choose "auto boothfs" option.
c. It will fail with the above message. Immediate enter the following:
update <enter>
write <enter>
setpid 1 <enter>
(that will print out the partition)
af <enter>
update
write
quit
d. Next it will ask you where to put the root partition. It goes on the second partition, not the first.
Note: Don't choose uhs option. It won't reboot correctly.
