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 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 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?
