It has trouble getting information from the root disk image (It's located in \FreeBSD\FLOPPIES\, BTW). I've tried mounting my DOS partition on \dos (In the LABEL section of the install), and it looked like that got me a bit further in the install, though it still didn't get past that (And it returned the same error msg. on the setup screen). The errors that I'm getting are: mountmsdos(): root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated /stand/cpio: prematurue end of file I have _NO_ idea what most of this means. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks =) Michael Ferguson
