Coming to the screen of slicing the partition, the program refuses to make the partitions. Ex: I try to make a / of 50MB, the answer is that the root partition is too big! The same if I try to make a swapslice or a /usr-slice. All on disk one, master. The disks are correct found by the BIOS. My comp. is a 486/66 with 32MB RAM. A master disk of 424MB, of wich only 404MB is found. I try to install BSD on this master. The slave is 635MB, and it's not involved in this slicing. My CD is an IDE Nec, but it seems hard to be found as well. I have no SCSI or Ethernetcards, whatsoever. The BSD version is CD-ROM 3.1. Any ideas? Do you want more info? I've searched for info of this kind of error, but I've not succeded so far.
