Thank you for your feedback. However, that is not the problem. The drive 
had been partitioned and  formatted prior to the install as you suggest. 
As you can see from the output below, the install is successful up until 
the lilo portion. From this, it is clear that there is a bug in the 
install script. I am not asking for help here but rather attempting to 
point out an issue that could be addressed by Voyage maintainers(if this 
sounds rude, its unintended).
