I recently got v2.2.2 of FreeBSD. When I try to install it from CD or Dos partition, no matter which installation method I use, when I start the installation procedure, I get "cannot create /kernel" and then the install halts, and it returns back to the install screen, saying that installation was completed, but with some errors. But, after rebooting, it is clear that nothing has been installed. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps it could be a bad CD??? >How-To-Repeat: Novice install, from either CD or Dos partition. >Fix: No idea. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
