My install of FreeBSD 2.0 failed.
I followed the install instructions on the CD and created the 2
Diskettes. The diskette boot worked ok. I set up slices as
below
wd0 a: 50Mb /
b: 16Mb /swap
HPFS 91 MB for OS/2
g: 45MB /usr
wd1 HPFS 300 MB
104 mb reserved for FreeBSD
After (W) to save to I entered ( P) to proceed. The errors are
as below
wd0 interrupt time out wd;0 status 59<seek done,drq,err> error 10<no_id>
wd0a: hard error writting fsbn 102399 wd0 bn 515259 cn 1226 tn 9 sn
24 Status 51 <seek done,err> error 10<no_id>
I followed the troubleshooting hints on the install diskette with no
success. Free Bsd reports the same Disk geometry as OS/2, ie 989 Cyls 12
trks 35 sectors.
Machine Details:
486DX2 66 VL bus Taiwanese Motherboard / 256K Cache.
8 Mb RAM
SB16 sound card
IDE controller with wd0 = Western digital 202 MB Caviar Disk wd1
=Western Digital 404 MB Caviar Disk
ISA bus 16550 serial/parallel port.
Genoa 8900VL 2mb (ET400W32i) video card.
Mitsumi FX001D CDROM via SB16. irq 11 H'340'
3.5 Diskette
Clone Mouse.
OS/2 FDISK sees the '5a' partitions and the Boot works, ie I get the
enter F1 etc messages on Booting. The HPFS partitions have not been
affected! I hope you can help me
