I'm installing FreeBSD 3.3 fresh on a PC with NT
and Linux already installed. I repartition the
disk (preserving the NT & Linux paritions). The
repartioned table is as follows:
Offset Size End Name Desc Subtype Flg
------ ---- --- ---- ---- ------- ---
0 63 62 - unused 0 =
63 4112577 4112639 wd0s1 fat 6 =
4112640 529200 4641839 wd0s2 ext2fs 131 =
4641840 211680 4641839 wd0s3 freebsd 165 C=
4853520 3583440 8436959 wd0s4 ext2fs 131 =
8436960 4158000 12594959 X freebsd 165 =
The Disklabels table configuration:
Part Mount Size Newfs
---- ----- ---- -----
wd0s1 <none> 2008MB DOS
wd0s3a / 103MB UFS Y
X swap 256MB SWAP
X /var 100MB UFS Y
X /usr 1674MB UFS Y
When I commit the install I get an pop-up window
error message:
Unable to make device node for /dev/X in dev!
The creation of file systems will be aborted.
The Debug output from <ALT-F2> follows:
DEBUG: installcommit: System state is 'init'
DEBUG: diskPartitionWrite: Examining 1 devices
DEBUG: Scanning disk wd0 for root filesystem
DEBUG: Found rootdev at wd0s3a!
DEBUG: Found vardev at X!
DEBUG: Found usrdev at X!
DEBUG: Scanning disk wd0 for swap partitions
DEBUG: Found swapdev at X!
Is this disk partition scheme salvageable or do I
need to repartition the disk drive and reinstall
FreeBSD and Linux?
Thanks,
George
