Hi... Realizing that this is probably the *simplest* thing to do, or at least should be, I can't get a hard drive to install. The hard drive is an *old* Fujitsu drive (5.25", date '89 on one of the "papers" that is on the drive) I can use fdisk to create the FreeBSD slice, and then label the partitions I want, but when it goes to format it, it states that /dev/rsd0a doesn't exist When the label editor created the partitions, it created them as sd0s1a So, what I'm assuming, is that one of the procedures is creating /dev/[r]sd0s1a, while the other is looking for /dev/rsd0a I ftp'd into the archive to confirm that the boot disk I am using is the newest one that is available for 2.1.0-RELEASE, and it is, so the only next step is to try out 2.2-SNAP and see if that helps any... ...but, its also the same diskette I've used several times for installing my existing machines, which is what I'm finding confusing... Any ideas on what I've overlooked? How to fix this? Thanks... Marc G.
