Install of FreeBSD v2.1 on a Dell Pentium 60 with 16 Meg RAM,
NEC 2x IDE cd-rom drive, and Seagate ST32140A 2.1G IDE hard drive,
failed with the following error messages:
VTY1:
Failed to load the ROOT distribution.
Please correct this problem and try again.
VTY2:
gunzip: stdin: Input/output error
/stand/cpio: premature end of file
DEBUG: Dummy [default] close called for wcd0c with fd of 6
DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1
None of which makes sense to me, other than it seems to be a problem
reading the CD. I chose a novice-Developer installation, using the
whole of the disk for the install (with auto-partitioning).
Any insight would be welcome. Thanks,
M.
