So, what is the PCInstall disk it's asking for?
 Hmmmm, a DOS install disk such as MSDOS 6.22 maybe?

Tried that.

Hard drive isn't recognized from the Amiga side SCSI chain!

DOS install tries to install to floppies which is obviously NOT what I want!

 I could be wrong but, I thought that the Amiga side would not recognize until MSDOS side file system was installed. And then seen on the Amiga side  utilizing Amiga's FAT driver. Or can you see the drive on the Bridgeboard side?

That's the problem.  I cannot see the drive on the DOS side.  I need to figure out how to tell the Amiga side the SD card is for DOS use and get the DOS side of the machine to see it!
 Perhaps you're perceiving the drive setup process just the opposite of what it should be....  First, setup the Bridgeboard drive for DOS use and "then" get the Amiga side of the machine to see it.

Perhaps, I perceive, that you perceive, the process in the opposite manner I describe, but maybe my perception of what's actually happening is totally cockeyed...:lol:
