Greetings,
*Note - as i'm not currently subscribed to the mailing list (due to the =
delay of confirming e-mail from the mailing list) i'd appreciate it if =
any responses were e-mailed to me personally, although i could just as =
well hunt them down in the mailing list archive.=20
Durring the Installation of FreeBSD 4.2, i encounter several errors =
whining about missing files - infact, *none* of the files were actually =
recognised. In otherwords, the errors which occur are described as "bin =
packages could not be retreived from (Fat32 primary partition)" ...or =
something similar . The conclusion to which i've come is that the =
installation is simply not recognising or unable to read from/write to =
the C:\FREEBSD\ directory under my MsDos partition. This is the source =
directory which i'm using for the installation, (installing from a DOS =
partition *duh*). I've run into a *similar* problem when attempting to =
install Slackware Linux (but gave up) earlier. I doubt that the boot =
kernel failed to detect my harddrive, as i was able to proceed through =
the partitioning stage of the installation. =3D\=20
To the point... Does anyone have a logical sollution for this? Has it =
happened before?=20
*keep it real*=20
-Brian
