hi. I'm trying to install the 3.2 release on a i386 system that has one ide and one scsi disk. The release files are under freebsd/ in /dev/da0s1, which is a dos partition. /dev/da0s3 is the bsd slice. /dev/da0s2 is a linux root partition, and /dev/da0s4 is an extended partition containing the rest of the linux part. when I attempt to set the install media to DOS, I get the error message: Cannot mount /dev/da0s4 on /dist. How do I persuade the installer to look at /dev/da0s1 instead? The problem is incomprehensible to me, because /dev/da0s4 is not even a dos partition (shows up as unknown in the pc partition editor). Can someone help? -- Arvind Sankar phone : (617)-776-5083 156 School St, #6 e-mail: arvinds@mit.edu Somerville, MA02143 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
