hi ,
i was using linux and a great fan of it.Then i heard about this wonderful OS called FreeBSD and wanted to try it out.i thought to install it via FTP. My E: drive in my windows machine is the place where i want to install FreeBSD(i have formatted my E: ,but iam getting the chance to fdisk because Sysinstall is not running). But iam facing a problem during installation.i have made the images of the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp from windows using the utility fdimage.Then i booted from the kernel image floppy .Everything goes fine and after that when i put the other floppy and hit enter it says " zf_read:unexpected EOF ". Then it continues with the kernel configuration.Once i teied to configure and the next time i skipped,but after that comes the problem.after it probes it says
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
md0:raw partition size != slice size
md0:start 0,end 7,size 8
md0c:start 0,end 5759,size 5760
md0:truncating raw partition
md0:start 0,end 7,size 8
md0:start 0,end 5759,size 5760
Root Mount failed :22
manual root filesystem specification
<fstype>:device Mount <device> using filesystem<fstype>
eg.ufs:/dev/da0s1a
? list valid disk boot devices
<empty line> abort manual i/p
THEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE PROMPT.......
mountroot> NOW IF I HIT ENTER
panic :root mount failed ,startup aborted .
