After choosing installation media of CD/DVD, I reply yes to committing to the installation. At this point I receive the following message: "The disk currently in the drive is either not a Free BSD disc or it is an older (pre 2.1.5) Free BSD CD which does not have a version number on it. Do you wish to use this disc anyway? I reply "Yes" and receive the following message: "Unable to transfer the bin distribution from acd0c" Cannot proceed beyond this point. What puzzles me is that everything works fine up to this point. Such as booting from CDROM, disk label editing and initializing the partitions within my FreeBSD slice which happens to be ad0s3. There are two FAT partitions of 4 GIG each proceeding it. But that should not be a problem, right? John W.
