It seems that disklabel is the problem spot. Use 8.0 Partition menu to allocate 2 slices (partitions) 20GB for S1 and rest for S2, then install 8.0-Beta4 on S1. W command in slice (Partition) menu succeed with bootloader manager installing option (Choose FreeBSD), but W command in Label menu had the same error -- Unable to find device node ... After quite installationm and restart the system, the bootloader is still show old partitions (S1 DOS, S2/S3 7.2). Boot 8.0-Beta4 DVD again, and Partition menu shows no partition at all (no slice allocated). This indicates that disklabel did not correctly write disk partition information on to the dirve. --- On Mon, 9/14/09, Robert Huff <roberthuff@rcn.com> wrote: > From: Robert Huff <roberthuff@rcn.com> > Subject: Re: 8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b > To: "Jin Guojun" <jguojun@sbcglobal.net> > Cc: "Robert Huff" <roberthuff@rcn.com>, current@freebsd.org, bugs@freebsd.org, freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Date: Monday, September 14, 2009, 3:49 AM > > Jin Guojun writes: > > > Did not find anything from current, but found > the same problem > > has been reported in earlier releases in those > archives, and the > > latest was May 2009: > > Try this (for the fix) : > > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-September/011254.html > > > > > Robert Huff > >
