It seems to create / and /swap fine, but when trying to create /usr or /var it dies with newfs: /mnt/dev/ad0s1f no such file or directory file system full DEBUG: kget: error buffer sizing [: : out of range [: : out of range acd0t is invalid -- can't have more than 32 devices or 169 tracks This happens every way I've tried to install, from dual-boot to dedicated, softupdates enabled to no softupdates, etc. I'm trying to install this snapshot via CD. If I use the -current CD from _FreeBSD_Unleashed_ (-current from sept. 11, I believe), it seems to get through newfs fine but dies after expanding bin with the same errors as above, starting with "DEBUG: kget: error buffer sizing." This laptop has happily had installations of FreeBSD from 2.2.7 to 4.4, as well as various MS OS's. Any ideas? Reply to me directly, I'm not on this list right now.
