I have a PIII 550MHZ with Asus Motherboard, Asus S400/A CD-ROM, and am trying to install on a 421 MB Seagate HDD connected to the secondary IDE channel on a Promise Technologies Ultra ATA-66. The system boots from the Asus CD-ROM fine (came with Walnut Creek CD-ROM book "Complete FreeBSD 4.0". UserConfig seems to work as all devices appear to detect OK. During Probe I notice the CD-ROM is detected as acd0c. I start installation, partition, select X-user system; however, after asking for source and selecting CD-ROM, it spins up. A message "Filesystem information transfered successfully" appears, but then I get message: "Unable to transfer the bin distribution from acd0c" If I Alt+F2 I get the following line "debug: distExtract:parent (none) me:bin" Any help would be appreciated.
