I am trying to install FreeBSD at work. After I select the automatic to decide the sizes for the partitions I select "Write" and it goes through. After I quit and the install program tries to prepare the partitions I get: Unable to swap to /dev/wd01b. Device not configured. and Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/rwd0a. Command returned status 1. I took the boot floppy and rebooted. The computer booted Freebsd, but it was asking for a kernel. The drive is a 200MB (don't know the model) on a compaq computer. Moreover what is better to select the "whole drive" or the "compatible with other OS" modes in the first installation part? I am only going to have FreeBsd in this computer so I selected "whole drive" for FreeBSD and it gave a warning that I didn't understand.
