Hello, I'm trying to install the FreeBSD-RC1 ISO image on a 400-MHz G4 (PCI Graphics). I use FreeBSD i386 at work so I'm familiar with the installation process. I must be doing something dumb. Everything boots from CD fine, then the installer starts up. I choose the standard install option. I configure the partitions on my second drive, /dev/ad1 (it starts out as an HFS+ formatted disk). I select ad1s3, then choose "A" (auto) to lay out the partitions, then exit back to the installer. I continue with the installer until it tries to create the root partition. Here's the error I'm getting: Error mounting /dev/ad1s3 on /mnt: Operation not permitted Am I missing a step where the slices are set up? I get the same problem when trying to install to an external Firewire drive (/dev/da0). Any advice? Thanks, --David
