There is 1.1 MB free space on which I'd like to install FreeBSD 3.4, version Jan 2000. I tried to install from CD. Everything went fine (suggested kernel), incl. the (A) auto selection of directory sizes when, after the last 'ok', I received the following error message: 1. unable to make device node for /dev/x in /dev! 2. couldn't make filesytem properly. aborted. I understand that I can't install FreeBSD on my computer. But, being a newbie, I don't undertsand the meaning of the message. Could someone explain, please ?
