I keep getting the following error when trying to install FreeBSD 4.7


....
ad0: 9773MB <FUJITSU MPF3102AT> [19857/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA 33
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
md0s4: slice extends beyond end of disk: truncating from 50000 to 8640
sectors
.....

after this message the system just hangs.

I have low-level formatted the disk twice now, but still the same error.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Will
