I get the same message when trying to install from dos-partition or from floppies "write failure on transfer : wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes". have concluded this installation will probably not get off the ground now, release 3.3 just doesnt seem to like my hard drive, although i thought this was as standard as could be, but would still be interesing to figure out why. a freeBSD failure.....
