When I partition my hdd and it 'should' start formatting the disk, I get these errors: "Unable to swap to /dev/ad0s1b: invalid arg" "Unable to make new root fs on /dev/ad0s1a!" "Couldn't make fs properly. Aborting" while i get this in my debug screen : ad0s1: cannot find label (disk label corrupted) DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for rootfs DEBUG: found rootdev at ad0s1a! DEBUG: found vardev at ad0s1e! DEBUG: found tmpdev at ad0s1f! DEBUG: found usrdev at ad0s1g! DEBUG: Scanning ad0 for swap partition DEBUG: Found swapdev at ad0s1b! ad0s4: slice extends beyond end of disk, truncating. ... ad0: cannot find label disk label corrupted) ad0s1: cannot find label disk label corrupted) DEBUG: Notify: Making a new root fs on /dev/ad0s1a DEBUG: Execute command 'newfs -b 16384 -f 2048 /dev/ad0s1a' ... newfs: /dev/ad0s1a invalid argument DEBUG: Command 'newfs -b 16384 -f 2048 /dev/ad0s1a' returned status of 1 I get the same with FreeBSD 4.6-R and 4.8-R, but in OpenBSD 3.3 and FreeBSD 5.1 it works flawless... I don't understand, isn't there a way for me to install FreeBSD 4.x ??? Thanks Greetings, Wouter
