Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, Situation: I was installing FreeBSD 2.1.6 I had a power failure. . . Since than I have decided to install FreeBSD on another hard drive. Question: I want to format my crashed drive back for a DOS. When I boot from DOS Bootable diskette I get the message: "Memory Allocation Error Cannot load command, System halted" My another drive works perfectly on that machine (win95 and NT) so definetely it is not a hardware problem, just the DISK... I cannot get even to fdisk utility... Please HELP... Regards Sebastian zink@ionsys.com
