It boots to the USB image, and gets through the first two pages that are shown in the Handbook. Then it tries to locate the partition to install to, and give me the mountroot> prompt. If I enter "?" it gives me a list of partitions from ada0p1 to ada0p9. This is what the current partition looks like in my Fedora bash shell terminal: cgdisk 1.0.4 Disk Drive: sda Size: 976773168, 465.8 GiB Part. # Size Partition Type Partition Name ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1007.0 KiB free space 1 1023.0 MiB Windows RE Ba 2 360.0 MiB EFI System EFI System Partition 3 128.0 MiB Microsoft reserved Mi 4 192.0 GiB Microsoft basic data Ba 5 128.0 GiB FreeBSD UFS Basic data partition 156.0 MiB free space 6 1024.0 MiB Linux filesystem Fedora Linux 7 127.0 GiB Unknown Fedora Linux 8 450.0 MiB Windows RE 9 15.7 GiB Microsoft basic data Ba 5.0 MiB free space As you see, partition 5 is my target, so I enter: mountroot> ufs:/dev/ada0p5 I get the message "failed with error 2 (unknown filetype system)" Am I making a mistake to pre-format my FreeBSD partiton? I also tried leaving it as blank space, but then there is no partition to target for the install. Also, I wonder if I don't have some GPT vs MBR problem: [root@pavilion-23-attlocal-net dev]# gdisk sda GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.4 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT. Any clues would be appreciated. Clay Daniels
