McGroarty" To: install@freebsd.org Subject: Install 2.1.5 from DOS partition checksum failure Reply-To: catmega@pobox.com X-Mailer: Internet Squire 1.3 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm getting checksum failures almost immediately when starting the install of FreeBSD 2.1.5 with a DOS volume as the source. Thus far: I ftp'd the contents of bin from ftp.freebsd.org's 2.1.5 hieararchy and put them in /FREEBSD/BIN on C:. I then built the installation disk from the .flp file. Yes, I used binary transfer -- the only oddity I ran into was the presence of the non- ISO9660 file names (which I renamed as CHECKSUM.MD5 and BIN.MTR). I'm running a 486/66 with 32mb RAM, a TekRam 8.5mb cached VLB IDE controller, an ATI Graphics Pro Turbo (MACH64 chip) with 4mb, a SoundBlaster AWE32 (with obligatory mitsumi CD-ROM) and an SIIG SCSI card. My two hard drives are on the IDE (I'm installing to the second -- 450mb... the first is a 1gig running Win95) and a Zip sits on the SCSI drive.
