After entering the proper drive geometry I am able to partition the drive and label using the automatic selection. I select Boot Easy Because I intend to run the two Operating sys's on the same system). At this point it tells you there is no turning back. I proceed and about half way through the installation of "bin" there is an error and I quote... "Write failure on transfer wrote -1 of 1024 bytes". It doesn't seem to stop installing at he same time every time. ie. 20 %- 75%- etc.. I am able to access BSD through the fixit disk however. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated Rich Linane Typh0on@concentric.net
