That gets me to sysinstall. Unfortunately the Quantum Atlas on my ATTO SCSI card is not recognised, so I had to rejig things to get data [oh, OK, my iTunes library ;-)] off of an IDE-attached Maxtor so that I could partition that. Did so (two partitions in Darwin - disk1s3 for FreeBSD and disk1s5 for swap). Chose the automagic option in the disklabel editor - this chose to put a few mounts (/, /usr, /var, swap IIRC) in ad1s3 and didn't work. Went back to disklabel editor and chose a new layout: ad1s3 / 18508MB UFS2 Y ad1s5 swap 1015MB SWAP However, I still get errors: WARNING! Unable to swap to /dev/ad1s5: Device busy Error mounting /dev/ad1s3 on /mnt : Operation not permitted Unable to mount the root file system on /dev/ad1s3! Giving up. If I look at VTY2, I see: [fsck info for /dev/ad1s3] DEBUG: Scanning disk ad1 for root filesystem DEBUG: Scanning disk ad1 for swap partitions fstab: /etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory so where to go from here...? :) Cheers, Graham. -- Graham Lee UNIX Systems Manager, Oxford Physics Practical Course http://users.ox.ac.uk/~wadh1342
