I get this part no problem. And after I input the date and time I drop
into IPL/ISL

I do that get the messages "Beginign install" and then things stop
happening. Well, sort of.  I just heard a tape movement from the dds.
But nothing more on the console.  It would be nice if there was some
sort of progress or confidence indicator displayed on the console
while this stuff is going on.

Is there a way to test that the HDDs are good from the ISL just in
case I have a dud as the system disc?
