It's pretty important to tell us what version of FreeBSD you're running. From the error message you quoted, it sounds like an old version. A couple of tips... If you go to the "search" page on www.freebsd.org and search the mailing list, you might find other people asked about the same error message and got answers that you can use. I've put in a subject line that will help people see what your message is about, so that you're more likely to get help. If you write back to FreeBSD-questions and tell us what version you're installing and how (from CDs perhaps?), then someone might be able to offer you some more hints. I know you're not on the mailing list, Daniel, but people usually send you a cc: of their answers, like I'm doing now. If you reply, send your reply to the mailing list freebsd-questions. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
