Hello,

I am trying to install FreeBSD-4.0 on a new machine. The file system cannot
be created :

Fixit# newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/ad0s2a
superblock backup (for fsck -b #) : ...
...
cg 0: bad magic number
newfs: wtfs: Read-only file system

This problem has been posted several times (about various versions of
FreeBSD) but never been answered with a solution. Does anyone know a
solution or has details about the cause of the problem ?

Thanks.

PS : MSDOS 6.22 can format and be installed correctly on the disk, which
tend to prove that the hardware is ok.
