Hi all: i'm trying to install, FreeBSD 8.0 beta 2 from disc1 on my AMD64 Athlon X2 box. The complete hardware specs can be seen here http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=www/133262 The issue faced is "installInitial: Couldn't clone the boot floppy into the root filesystem. Aborting" If i use the entire SATA II NCQ disk, this error is not seen, but if i create a partition eg. i'm using a 80GB FreeBSD partition (marked bootable), then this error is seen. Any pointers ? What could i be missing ? thanks Saifi. http://twitter.com/saifikhan
