I would have thought the installer would have a
checkbox where you could uncheck that . . . but you
may be right. I know I've gotten the JFS.IFS line
when doing an install, even though I did not want it.
In fact, it usually nixed the bootability of the fresh
install for me, so I had to REM it out right away, in
order to make any progress.

Yes, I've had similar failures, directly attributable
to the "AutoCheck EVERYTHING" instruction in that
line, and had to limit it very specifically to get
around this. There are more gotchas than these that
have been in the installer for a very long time, and
we might have hoped they would have been weeded out
*by now.*
