Dear ladies and gentleman,


i will intall BSD Release 4.2 first time.
I start install from CD-Drive (CD boot),i start normal install from
menü.
When install finished (i see the menü with the art of install
selection), i exit install and boot up.
I see the Hard-Disk-LED there was access to the hard disk, but the only
i see is the curser on the left top of the monitor.

I try the install another time and at the fdisk-menü i set the
drive-parameters and set the second partition ( a offset-partition is
automatically generated ) as active and press "w" for write.
When i boot up the system say: Read error.

I also try to install with and without bootmanager but the effects are
the same.
On the Hard disk i have at last windows95 and it works fine, aktually on
disk is only
BSD 4.2 installed (other partitions deleted).

I use UNIX (BSD 4.2) first time and don't know what to do.
Is there hardware, software or config problem ?
Please say if you can what is the problem, what can i do ?


Yours sincerely
Grammenos Satrazanis
