Hi,
I've recently purchased 'Free BSD 2.0'. My installation of this product on my
486 pc is not progressing.
A brief description of the target system is as follows:
- Intel 486 / 33 MHz CPU
- 8 Mb RAM
- Boca IDE controller
- 2 IDE 1.2 Gb Hard Disks (Maxtor)
- Adaptec SCSI controller
- 1 SCSI 200 Mb Hard Disk (Maxtor)
- 1 Toshiba CDROM drive
- Sound Blaster Pro Sound Card w/panasonic CDROM drive
Preferably I would like to use the entire 2nd IDE hard disk for BSD Unix, the
first occupied by DOS. The install goes fine until I accept to 'Proceed'.
Within a minute, an error occurs and bounces me out of the install. The
following is the error message that is reported:
1) Install (using standard install)
Exec (/stand/newfs)failed, code = 9216
Progress <newfs /dev/rwd0h>
write error : 204543
wtfs : Input/Output error
2) Install (using 'fix')
Exec (/stand/newfs)failed, code = 8
Progress <fsck -y /dev/rwd0g>
** /dev/rwd0g
BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
PS: Can the dual boot support 3 Operating systems? I would like to use my 3rd
(SCSI) hard drive for OS2. If this can be accomplished, could you explain this
procedure.
Thanks,
Carlo Volpato
