The not-detecting-the-HD problem I was having seems to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by having more than 16MB motherboard fast RAM. At least, I tested a couple of times just now, and with 16MB motherboard RAM the installer did detect the hard disk. With 32MB or 64MB m/b RAM it didn't.

By the way, the AMIX installer is another good demo for the NTSC-mode floppy DMA bug.
