Win95 currently resides on the "C" drive and I'm looking to make all of "D" the FreeBSD drive. However, during the install I get the following error message: "Error mounting /dev/wcd0c on /dist: Input/Output error (5) ===================================(100%)== [OK] press enter to continue I have not used any of the "C" (wd0) drive space at all for the install. I'm also trying to install the BootMgr. My question is: Do I need to allocate some of the wd0 drive ? The message above leads me to believe I do. I really want to have the ability to boot to Win95 from "C" and FreeBSD from "D". Thanks for any help you can provide a *really* old mainframe type. Cheers......Irv ****************************************************************** Never have such an open mind that your brain falls out!! ****************************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
