The box has one SATA drive ATM, it has a Intel D925XECV2 mobo with onboard SATA. It does newfsk the disk but when it wants to write to it either when setting up users/groups or installing packages or distribution sets it folds: /: write failed, filesystem is full It seems to be trying to write to its RO memory disk? FYI I set up the hard disk pretty normally with an /, a swap, a /tmp, a /var and /usr and /home partitions. It did complain about geometry but I get that often. I could newfs and fsck it through sysinstall, so I think it's not a device problem. Installing 5.3 then cvsup to 5.4 and make world worked fine. I can test stuff on this box if folks want to. Dan
