Hi,

I am trying to install 4.5 on a 4gig hdd. I boot up using the CD, all goes
well, i get to the sysinstall main menu, and i carry on, i create
partitions, 4 of them, one for /, one for /var, one for /usr/home, and one
for swap (in that order). I then write the information, which all goes well.
The problem comes in when i try and write the label information. I set it up
as above.

The error i get is the one below:

<snip>
Unable to swap to /dev/ad0s4b: Device not configured
</snip>
I push enter, to get to the next error

<snip 2>
Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0s1a
Command returned status 1

</snip 2>

In the debug screen, i get :

<snip 3>
DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for root filesystem
DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for swap partitions
newfs: /dev/ad0s1a: 'a' partition is unavailable

</snip 3>

The hdd is fine, because just before i was gonna change it to bsd, i was
using it in doze ...

Any help would be great

Thanks
Ian
