I am failing to install 2.1.6 on a PC with just a SCSI disk. At the point where the install is committed, it tries for a long time to write the partition table (at least that's what the message says) then gives up with an IO error. The hardware is as follows. Compaq Deskpro EN (500MHz Pentium III) 128 MByte memory IDE CDROM (on secondary IDE interface - FreeBSD 2.1.6 distribution is on this) Adaptec 2940AU interface card (PCI) IBM UltraStar 9ES (4.5GB) hard disk (on SCSI ID=0) no IDE hard disks Intel Ethernet card I know that the hardware is OK, because I have installed two other OSes on it (Windows95 and QNX). Any help much appreciated. [PS There are historical reasons why I am installing 2.1.6 and not a more recent version.] [PPS I posted this to freebsd-questions as well.] Regards To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
