NOTE
It is important to initialize your logical drives. If the drives
have been previously configured under an operating system,
there can sometimes be residual partition/format information
which subsequently causes misrepresentation of logical drives
under NetWare's Install module.
You already installed NetWare as discussed in Chapter 5.
