Hi, I can't install FreeBSD from a DOS partition and I was wondering if you guys had any idea what was happening. I followed the instructions in the README file which said to put all the installation folders into a folder called "FREEBSD". I wonder, does it have to be in all caps? Mine isn't. Anyway, the actual error message, after I get to the point in the installation where you select the installation media type is the following: Error mounting /dev/wd0s2 on /dos: Invalid arguement (22) [Press enter to continue] After I press enter, I get the following: Can't find a kernel image to link to on the root file system! Your going to have a hard time getting this system to boot from the hard drive I'm afraid! What's going on? I've had Linux on here before and I have had no problems booting from the hard drive. Do I just need to install from a cd? I would rather not have to buy one. I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks, David Alder
