Everything went well until after the "last chance" prompt. After writing the partion info to the drive, it says: "without my init...panic going nowhere...syncing disk" in white text in black background overlapping with the Sysinstall. And then it reboots. Anyone has any idea? Thanks. Ray, To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
