Something went wrong when specifying the disks where the OS is to be installed to. As it has already been mentioned, / is placed on a RAM disk. Extraction of the OS's components has to go to the mountpoints where your correctly created partitions reside (which are more than big enough, especially regarding /, I think). Did you do the installation via the sysinstall utility? If not, make sure the correct mount points are given for the software installation, e. g. /dev/ad0s1a -> /mnt/ /dev/ad0s1d -> /mnt/tmp /dev/ad0s1e -> /mnt/var /dev/ad0s1f -> /mnt/usr /dev/ad0s1g -> /mnt/home The structures in / (/bin, /usr/local etc.) are not the structures you want to have on the disk you're installing on. PS. Where's your /home partition? :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
