Help, I've been trying to install FreeBSD2.0 950210 SNAP this weekend with several problems. I had 1.1.5.1 running on this box for a few months with no problem. First i tried to install without removing 1.1.5.1. The installation program saw the old disklabel, so after adding mount points i proceeded to install.(by the way it was on slice 4 with DOS on 1 and nothing on 2 and 3). The two floppies loaded fine but when it came time to add the bindist from the DOS partition i got chksum errors over and over, and I FTP'd the bin files and chksum/shells several times. Next i used the DOS fdisk to remove the 1.1.5.1 partitions and tried to install fresh. This time i chose slice 2 for FreeBSD. The installation locked up several times but when i could get to the part of the install to load the bindist it couldn't find the DOS partition.. The DOS partition for some reason showed up on "e" of the disklabel instead of "h"???? I went ahead and gave the mount points anyway putting /usr on "f". but when it asked where to find the DOS partition to load the bindist i gave it wd0e, however this didn't work. If anyone can give me some sugesttions on what to do now it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ron -- [-Ronald W. Porter-------------------] [-Univ.
