I downloaded the distribuition of FreeBSD-RELEASE to install it from a dos partition, but when I attempted to do so the installer gave me a message that could not install it with a hint that it might be because the distribution was not present in the partition I had it. At first I was using the D:\FREEBSD partition on the second drive on the first IDE controller (wd0s2). I suspected that it had to be on the C: drive so I copied evrething to C:\FREEBSD, but I got the same result. I consulted with the users and developers at #freebsd on EfNet but I was todl I was doing the righ thing. Finally I decided to mirror the CDROM by moving all the data from D:\FREEBSD to D:\ and it worked!. So I found out that the distribution needs to be on the root directory rather than on the \FREEBSD for a dos partition installation. Thanks for a great job!
