During installation, sysinstall shows three disks; ad4, ad6, and ar0. I'm assuming the ar0 is the disk I need to install on to. Installation went on fine, and everything seems to be working good. I decided to test the hotswap and mirror features by removing one of the drive at a time, also swapped two drives with each other. No problem there! But then, I noticed missing /usr/home and /usr/src/sys directories. I know for sure I installed full source. Anyhow, I created the /usr/home, and using sysinstall, I did "add additional distribution" to add "base", "man", and "source". Strangely, afterwards, my passwd file, adduser config, and locate database was reset to default. After reconfiguring lost infos, I've tried recompile the kernel. And every single time, during make, FBSD reboots the system. So finally decided to reinstall, and now sysinstall tells me it can't create the file systems. Arrg!!! What's going on??? I'm clueless. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through ISOT.
