(followup) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, (I was trying to install 3.4-Stable as a second version of FreeBSD on a small disk) I have installed "by hand" the bin distribution on these partitions : root : ad0s2a : The data for partition 2 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 100800, size 100800 (49 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 50/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 99/ sector 63/ head 31 /var ad0s3f and /usr ad0s3h, which are in : The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 201600, size 1465632 (715 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 100/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 826/ sector 63/ head 31 This installation boots quite fine (as this was a "bare-bones" hand install, things are missing : in particular /stand) So, the error message that I saw in the installation program "this region cannot be used for your root partition...please choose another location" is plain wrong. As this is a small machine, I have not installed the full sources - I don't konw where to look for a bug in /stand/sysinstall TfH To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
