In regard to the same problem below, I was able to install the system 5.3 but not 5.4 and only if I use the default options for partitions. I could not choose my own options to change the size of the /usr & /var volumes. If I stayed with the default then the system found acd0 to load the base distribution otherwise it would not load the base distribution or even find the acd0. Any ideas!!!

Can someone steer me the right direction. The system boots up fine and I am going through the process fine. I have my partitions done fine as the system creates the partitions and gets to sysinstall. At this point I get an error that says "Unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0" and that's where it fails. If I say no it goes further but cannot make the root password change. If I reboot the system it comes to a prompt with boot and fails. I tried on two systems with the same result. What am I doing wrong. Also I am making the entire disk on the system for Free BSD. Thanks, VJhelp
