I'm trying to install 5.0-DP2 on an old PCI/ISA i386 machine. It has
an IDE hard drive, an IDE CD-ROM, and a SCSI hard drive. I'm
installing onto the SCSI drive.
The BIOS doesn't support booting from CD-ROM, so I'm installing via
the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp floppies.
The install process goes well through partitioning, disklabelling, and
the selection of things to install. I select CD/DVD as the
installation media. Alas, after newfs'ing the filesystems, I get an
error message popup in the installer that says:
Error mounting /dev/acd0c on /dist: Operation not supported by device (19)
(I also got this error when hooking up a SCSI CD-ROM, except "acd0c"
was replaced with "cd0c".)
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I guess I'll try a minimal install via NFS... :-(
Cheers,
Paul.
