I have been trying to install FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE for the last 3 days.
Problem is that when it starts copying the bin distribution thingie it comes
up with the ff error:
write error on tranfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes)
Then when I press enter it then gives me:
unable to transfer the bin dir fron wd0s1. Do you want to retrive it
again.
I was installing from a dos (fat 16) partition (1.8 gig in size).
Before this I had tried to do an ftp install and the first error was the
same.
I am tryin to install this on a Compaq Deskpro with an Intel 333 Celeron
Chip, 32 meg ram, 4 gig ide drive.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kamnandi/ Kind regards
