In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Trying to install 4.0-RELEASE with the two installation floppies, I cannot label the disk. The error message says it cannot find /dev/ad0s1a (and b, e, etc). I managed to partition and label the disk using the 3.4 floppies, but when going back to installation of 4.0, the error repeats. The disk is seen, and its partitions are recognized and shown with the correct sizes. But when I try to mount any file system, the error repeats. Has anybody got a set of installation floppies for 4.0 which does NOT use the new driver, but the old one (the one which labeld particions like wd0a, not ad0a). Any ideas for a work around of this problem? I have read in this list that other people is having problems with this driver. Wouldnt it be better to leave the old one, at least until the new one stabilizes?
