I cannot install FreeBSD-current on this machine. The machine is an IBM PIII-450 Here is what I did: (1) Obtained kern.flp and mfsroot.flp floppy images from the 9/17 and 9/10 snapshots of FreeBSD-current. I obtained these from ftp://current.freebsd.org/ (2) After booting from the first floppy (kern.flp), I insert mfsroot.flp. The install hangs at: =========================================================================== Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c md0c: raw partition size != slice size md0c: start 0, end 5087, size 5088 md0c: truncating raw partition md0c: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice md0c: start 0, end 5087, size 5088 md0ca: start 0, end 8639, size 8640 spec_getpages: (md0c) I/O read failure: (error=22) bp 0x2031dc vp 0xc0e39000 size: 4096 resid: 4096, a_count: 4096 valid: 0x0 nread: 0, reqpage: 0, pindex: 575, pcount: 1 =========================================================================== Any ideas what the cause of this is? I tried disabling things like PNP in the BIOS, but that didn't fix anything. I had the same problems with the 9/17 and 9/10 floppy images. -- Craig Rodrigues http://www.gis.net/~craigr rodrigc@attbi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
