Do you have the errata/addenda? It's on ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata.gz. There are some significant differences there. After looking at that, you can try one of two approaches: 1. Try again, if necessary after taking account of the addenda. If you still have trouble, give a few more details about how you set up the disk. 2. Grab ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/13-disks.ps.gz, print it out, and try the sysinstall approach. Tell me if you have any problems, or even if you succeed. > It's now squawking about > invalid primary partition table > and > floating point exception fdisk /dev/rsd2 > and > pid 7241 (fdisk), uid 0: exited on signal 8 > > and I can't get any other response. Strange. I've never seen this before, but I'd need more details to suggest a solution. Greg
