Hi I have a Pentium 133 32 megs ram 1.1 gig c:\ 2.7 gig cut down the middle making: 1.35 D:\ 1.35 E:\ and I have a 2.1 GIG FREE for Unix I have given this drive to Unix completely and have ran the boot install I selected to give the whole drive to unix I partitioned it this way 50M / 100M SWAP 200M /var 16??M /usr ?? meaning the rest of the disk space I start the install and it dies and give me this error: Error mounting /dev/wd1s2 on /dos: invalid argument (22) /dev/wd1s2 I believe would be drive E:\ and that is the drive I have FreeBSD in. In the E:\FREEBSD directory I was told it wouldn't work in a windows inviroment so I formated C:\ and installed Dos version 6.22 and got the same message. I rawrite boot4.flp to disk and boot off it I did all the installation option Novice , Quick, and Expert with I found to be the easy of the all because of the fact that you can go back and recheck your setting before comiting to anything I also tryed to tell it to do exsisting file and pointed to them and it didn't work... Now I have dont the operation without telling it to copy any files and it does the partition corectly and all but it says I can't boot off this drive because no files were installed.. I hope this will help you with my problem I'm lost. Thanks Joe
