[-- Attachment #1 --] I am installing v4.6 onto a IBM 18GB UW SCSI Hard Drive with an Adaptec controller. I boot from the floppies and start the standard installation. I go through the partition utilities and choose to use the whole disk (the disk geometry reports the correct disk size). Then I use the default choices for the slices. When I begin the download from the FTP site the installation of the new file system fails. I went through the intialization screen and it appears all the hardware is being detected correctly. When I looked at the sysinstall log messages I see the following errors da0:ahc0:0:6:0 ABORTED COMMAND asc:47,0 DEBUG: Scanning disk da0 for root filesystem newfs: /dev/da0s1a: Device not configured I have installed FreeBSD on IDE drives several times without a problem at this point. I am stuck. I need some help or a point in a new direction TIA, Joe [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am installing v4.6 onto a IBM 18GB UW SCSI Hard Drive with an Adaptec controller.
