Message-ID: Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 20:18:28 +0100 (GMT Daylight Time) X-Mailer: Simeon for Win32 Version 4.1.2 Build (32) X-Authentication: IMSP MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am a fresher of FreeBSD. When I tried to install FreeBSD 3.1 by FTP, I met some problems so that I could not get a successfully installation. My Hard Disk is 10.2G. I assign the last 3G for my FreeBSD. From the prompt information, it seems there is no problem with FreeBSD recongnising the Big Disk. I also use default configuration of my FreeBSD. They are: wd0s1 1255M Dos wd0s4a / 32M UFS Y wd0s4b swap 261M swap wd0s4e /var 30 M UFS Y wd0s4f /usr 2375M However, everytime when I install FreeBSD via FTP, I meet the below problem: "Error mounting /mnt/dev/wd0s4f on /mnt/usr: invalid argument" Because the installation dameon can not mount wd0s4f. Naturally, after a while, the disk is full and I can not install the whole system. Who can help me? How to slove it? Is it the only way for me to change the spaces of every parition manually? I am anxious for your reply. Your assistance will be greately appreciated!
