The FreeBSD boot kernel panics during the creation/extraction of the /bin directory. The error message on the 2nd virtual screen is something like "/mnt error in ino #nnn at offset #nnn mangled entry". The installation does not seem to panic at the same point each time I try it. I have tried using each of the disks for the root partition - still the same result. I have existing DOS partitions on both drives that are working fine as best as I can tell. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! David Yankura Hill Arts & Entertainment Systems, Inc. dgy@hillae.com
