I have a major problem installing FreeBSD, and no one has been able to help me, I've asked hundreds of people and I either get a *shrug* or an "i have no clue". My problem is, when in the partition program, after making my FreeBSD slices, it names the device X, not wda5. Therefore, later in the install process it fails to create the file system because there is no such thing as /dev/X. I have no idea why it is doing this, and you are my last resort. Any help would be tremendously appreciated. Thank You, Zach To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
