Hi Kris, The errors seemed quite unworthy of mentioning because there was really nothing quite specific to the disks, but I will do it anyway. I have run through another attempt at installation and here are the msgs I get after the commit... On Main Console: No root device found - you must label a partition as / in the label editor [I press Enter] No swap devices found - you should create at least one sap partition .... blah .. [I press Enter again] Couldn't make filesystems properly. Aborting. On vtys - Alt+F2: DEBUG: ioctl (3, TIOCCONS, NULL) = 0 (Success) DEBUG: Add mapping for /dev/cuaa0 to sl0 DEBUG: Add mapping for /dev/cuaa1 to sl0 DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for root filesystem DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for swap partitions And that's it. I have checked all the vtys, and the msg is the same. Best regards, Odhiambo Washington Wananchi Online Ltd.
