One failure was due to the FreeBSD is on the second slice, which sound liek a bug; but the other is not clear. In my case, FreeBSD is on the first slice, so it is not the same problem. >From 8.0-Beta{3, 4} cannot recognize FreeBSD 7.2 partition tables, it looks like that there is a disklable and/or partition related problem in 8.0-Beta. --- On Mon, 9/14/09, Robert Huff wrote: > From: Robert Huff > Subject: 8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b > To: "Jin Guojun" > Cc: questions@freebsd.org, freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Date: Monday, September 14, 2009, 2:13 AM > > Jin Guojun writes: > > > Tried to install from both 8.0-BETA{3, 4}-i386-dvd1.iso on a > > Phenom 9600 system and having some disk problems. The system is running 6.x and/or 7.2 FreeBSD (on different drives). Disconnected rest drives and only left 7.2 drive in. ad0: 76319MB at ata0-master UDMA100 Boot 8.0-BETA3-i386-dvd1.iso and sees no partition at all on the 7.2 disk. Boot back to 7.2 and everything works fine, so system has no hardware problem. Boot 8.0-BETA3-i386-dvd1.iso again, still sees no partition, so reconfigured partition with autoconfigure - A 512M for / on /dev/ad0s1a about 4G for swap on /dev/ad0s1b about 2.2G on /var 512M for /tmp rest spaces are for /usr > > After commit, installation says -- > > > > Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev > > The Creation of file system will abort. > > OK > > [Press enter or space] > > Look at the archives of current@ within > the last three weeks. > I (and I believe at least one other person) had what seems > like the > same problem and found a work-around. > > > > Robert Huff >
