I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.0 on my desktop. I have two hard disks. FreeBSD is to be installed on the second hard disk. If I use MBR partition on my second hard disk, the installer will report an error when extracting base.txz. The exact error message is: Code: Error while extracting base.txz: Can't set user=0/group=0 for var/emptyCan'tupdate time for var/empty If I use GPT partition, the installer works fine. If I remove my first hard disk, installer works on MBR partition as well. My desktop has a MSI H67MA-E35 (H67chipset) motherboard. SATA is set to AHCI. I suspect it is the installer bug. But can anyone help interpret the possible cause of the error message? Thanks!
