Hi. running into some interesting problems trying to install 3.0 Beta, 10-09 release. A bit about the hardware in this machine... Pent II 350, Intel BX Chipset DPT Raid Controller (DPT PM3334UW) 128 Megs of ram, etc etc. I go in and dedicate a partition to freebsd... I then break the partition up into these chunks: 256 Megs / 512 Megs SWAP 1000 Megs /var 3200 Megs /usr/local 2400 Megs /usr basically all goes as normal until it tries to newfs the partitions... when it tries to newfs the first slice ( / filesystem) Debug reports "DEBUG: unknown major/minor for devtype -" it dies with a message on the debug console where it gives "Cross device link" error in newfs and then a rewrite label error. Install gives me an error message and then puts me back to the main install menu where I go through the procedure again. Now get this: The second time I go through all this, and the newfs takes place again, and while I get the "unknown major/minor for devtype" messages, the newfs works without any problems at all.. I just wanted to make sure you guys knew of this situation before the release date.
