Hi,

We're trying to do a new install of Freebsd  2.1.0 on a server that 
had a disk crash.  The original 4.GB scsi was replaced with a 1 GB 
scsi for the system and a 4 GB for data files.

Problem: Can't commit partition changes to the new disks.  After 
partitioning and labelling the partitions, any form of Write, commit,
whatever gives us the Information Dialog box which sez:

Writing partition information to drive sd0  

Immediately after which we get 

sysinstall: read: Input/output error

Then

panic: Going nowhere without my init!

syncing disks...done

We're new to bsd, and can't find anything that seems to relate
in the docs.

Any suggestions?  TIA,

Mary
