I am loading FreeBSD Release4-0 to replace my NT. However I am failing to complete the installation.
This is what happens.

The setup copies the files
And on the some point this message comes

Remaking all devices
MAKEDEV returned a non-zero status.

And tells me that setup did not finish successfully.

This is my hardware.

Compaq Proliant with Pentium-Pro Processor
Three 4.3-GB WIDE-ULTRA SCSI.
3 Compaq DiskArray

At some points when setup completes successfully the error comes that 
No bootable kernel found.

Hope you will help as soon as you can.
