How did you partition/slice your drive? ie: The size of the partitions and what are the exact partitions? --- Henrik Hudson -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Giulio Astori Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2000 09:14 To: 'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org' Subject: Problem with the installation Hello. My name is Giulio Astori and I'm trying to setting up my old 75MHz Pentium with 24MB of RAM to run the well advertised FreeBSD. I'm having some problems. At first I had a problem with an non compatible CD-ROM, I changed with a compatible one resolving the matter. Now, after booting the kernel, slicing (partitioning) the HDD, choosing the type of installation, the source of the files and after the OS writes the file system to the HDD I get to the point when it starts to extracting the bin files to the directory. At this point when the extract process reaches 21 files out of .... it stops and nothing happen after that. I try to use a different HDD ( a Western D 10GB) and instead of to stop at 21 files it stops at 51 files.. Could it be that the " / " root partition is to small? Please help me, I REALLY LIKE TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL IT AND LEARNING HOW TO USE IT. I'm new to UNIX world, I 'm a PC/NETW Tech for Novell and Microsoft NT/Win2k infrastructure with no clue about FreeBSD. Thank you...
