When I choose standard install and select to use entire hard disk for FreeBSD. During file extraction from CD ROM I get this error "Write Failure on Transfer! (write -1 bytes of 240640 bytes), after hit enter, I get "unable to transfer bin distribution from acd0c". I get the same errors while the install try to extract /bin, /doc, /manpages, and /catpages. The rest of the files seems to install ok. After I exit and rebooted, a message said the kernal fail to load. Can someone please help.
