Just recently I purchased the FreeBSD CD-ROM from Walnut Creek and proceeded to install it. After setting up the fdisk and disklabel areas without a problem, I went ahead and attempted installation. That's when the error occured. As it was (I guees) trying to set up the partitions and the system, I got this error message while it was working on rwd0f: "wd0f: wdstart: timout waiting to give command writting fsbn 572863(wd0 bn 211799; cn 524 tr 63 sn 62)wd0; status 0 error 0" followed by the same thing but with the error saying "error 1<no_dam>." It does this repetedly. I was hoping that you can give me a hand with this. It might help if you knew some specs. I'm using a Pentium 90 with a 1033 meg HD (enhanced IDE), 16 megs RAM, cirus logic video bus with a SVGA monitor, 3.5 & 5.25 HD floppies, an enhanced IDE CD-ROM, serial mouse, and a 28.8k baud modem. One interesting thing it does when booting up on the boot disk is say that I have 64 heads, it can only handle 16, and that it's setting it for 16. I've tried installation with 64 and 16 heads and they both don't work. I'd appreciate in help you can give me. Please mail me if you have any questions. Thanks. --- Brian Laws (703)232-6213
