Dear,
I downloaded all files from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/bin, but I can't
install it both from floppy disk or DOS partition. Every time when the
BSD installer retreives infomation from file bin.ai, it shows an error
message: Write failure in transfer(wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes). I
have tried almost all the different brend motherboards in our
lab(440LX shipset), the same problem.
So I checked in detail about the file "bin.inf" and found there is
somthing abnormal. All the records, except the first one, in file
bin.inf are with the format of "cksum.?? = 3314456633 240640", where
the 240640 represents the actural file size of bin.??. But when you go
to the record of "cksum.ai = ******** 240640", the actural size of
bin.ai is not 240640 but 239647. I wonder whether the error is caused
by this. I am the beginner about FreeBSD. So forgive me if it is not
that case.
Thanks very much if you can give me a hand.
