Hi,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD to another machine. I already have a 486DX2-66 
running FreeBSD. But I'm installing FreeBSD on a second machine:
* P66
* 32Mb
* 2Gb (HP harddisk), SCSI
* 400Mb (HP harddisk), SCSI for swapspace

When installing I have created the FreeBSD Slices (one on both drives). And 
have made the partitions:
2Gb disk (disk 0):
a -  42Mb - /
e - 990Mb - /usr
f - 700Mb - /usr/home/ftp
g - 300Mb - /usr/home/webmaster

400Mb disk (disk 1):
b - 400Mb - swap

But when the instalation continues and tries to make the new file systems I 
get: "Exec(/stand/newfs) failed, code=7936."

When switching screen, I see:
Debug <10>
Debug <10>
Progress <newfs /dev/rsd0a>
Warning: 384 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/rsd0a:     86016 sectors in 96 cylinders of 15 tracks, 60 sectors
        42.0MB in 6 cyl groups (16 c/g, 7.03MB/g, 1728 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
 32, 14496, 28960, 43424, 57888, 72352,
cg 0: bad magic number

I've even tried to run fdisk from MS-DOS first. Created a small partitions 
(42MB) for a DOS-volume and tried again: Same result. With the previous 
machine this helped....
