Hello, all! I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.9 on an AlphaServer 1000a/400/256Mb. It gets through the initial configuration just fine, however, upon getting to the place where it attempts to download from FTP...it downloads the first 10 blocks of the distribution then stops. The error message on VTY2 says "Attempt to write beyond the end of the drive." I have a Mylex 960 card with two 9Gb drives attached, partitioned 6Gb data/1Gb swap/1Gb temp. Anyone else experience this problem? The system works fine under Red Hat. I tried to load FBSD 5.2.1, but I get a machine bugcheck and it halts the system. But that is for another day. Thanks, Michael Gollihue
