I've made 3 partitions on my hard drive, I have win98 on one with FAT32, another put the FreeBSD files from /bin/ to d:\freebsd\bin\ with FAT16 (I think, when I install FreeBSD it says it's number 5), and the other I have formatted with FreeBSD. When I install it, none of the media I've tried work. When I try to install it from my partition I get an error: Error mounting /dev/wd0s3 on /dist: invalid argument (22) I really don't understand how to install it from the ftp site, but I managed to get connected to my internet provider then when I switch back and hit enter I get and error something like "Unable to connect to ftp.freebsd.org Unknown error (0)" Any help would be greatly appreciated.
