Installer issue -- Need a hand



Need a hand up here.  Hopefully, the memory is gone, and I'm just overlooking 
something easy.

Problem:  I cannot install AppleShare (or anything else) to my hard disk.

What I've tried:  I've booted from a System 6.0.1 floppy, and have run the 
Installer.  I made certain that the "Easy Update" button was active at the 
Installer's main screen, but of course, I selected "Customize."  I click on the 
"Disk" button on the right of the screen to select :HD1 as the "Disk to update." 
 At the bottom of my screen, -sometimes- I see "Installations and/or removals on 
this disk are not possible. Writing to this disk is not allowed (it may be 
locked)."  I have the same issue with :HD2.  Otherwise, if I don't see that 
message, the 'Install' button is greyed out and I'm in the same predicament.

Normally, I boot from :HD1, and it's connected to a RamFAST board in slot 7 
(:HD1 and :HD2 are partitions on the same physical drive, if that matters). I'm 
scratching my head over this, as I ran the RamFast utilities (2.01c is the 
version number) and definitely see that the hard drives are -not- write 
protected.  So what am I doing wrong?

As an aside, I've never done AppleTalk from a IIgs, and I'll be darned if I can
track down the Apple IIgs AppleTalk User's Guide.  Do I need to do anything
other than have "Network:  AppleShare" installed, with the appropriate slot
defined in the Control Panel (and the connector and cable in place, of course
:)?

Thanks in advance...
