I am having trouble installing my recently acquired freeBSD OS on my
486dx PC.  I go through the install procedures according to instructions.
I also change the disk geometry to 16 heads, 32 sectors as you
recommended.  However, when I select (P)roceed, the install process
halts saying /stand/newfs failed with an error code of 8192?

My hard drive is a 540 Mb IDE disk.

Please advise me of corrective action.

Thanks
T Scott Urban
