Problems installing Microport 386 Unix on RLL disk

	We recently bought a PRIAM 230 Meg RLL controlled hard disk.
	We also got a special build disk for RLL and ESDI drives.

	But when installing we get the error message
	(from /etc/mkpart -i /tmp/partitions)

		Error in fdisk table -- CAN NOT WRITE BOOT.

	Has anyone experienced this problem, or has anyone
	managed to install uPort on the above hard disk??
	Has anyone managed to install uPort on a BIG disk (like
	larger than 200 Meg)??

	(The disk works perfectly from DOS)

	Some facts about the disk:

	Cylinders: 1224
	User Cylinders: 1214
	Heads: 15
	Sectors/track: 25
	Formatted capacity: 233.0
