I have a problem with FreeBSD instalation. I tried 5.3BETA5 5.2.1 and 4.9 all with the same result. When sysinstall starts i choose custom and proceed to creating the slice and partitions(only one slice and one partion plus swap). I tried two ways. I go to Partition, create the slice on the entire hard drive press q and choose BootMgr. Then i go to label and create my partion and swap. (in both these steps i dont write changes) I choose my distributions and them commit. When i press commit the computer instantly reboots without anything beeing done. After restart i see the slice and partitions but i cant install as get errors. The second way is to write changes when i make the slice and partitions. When making the slice there are no problems. I create it press w and get the message "Wrote FDISK partition information out succesfully." Then i go to label and create the partion and swap. When i press w i get the message "WARNING! Unable to swap to /dev/ad0s1b: Device not configured. This may couse the instalation to fail at some point if you dont have a lot of memory" and then "Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0s1a! Command returned status 1" The computer is a AMD k6-2/350 Mhz, the hard drive is a Fujitsu mpb3021atu (2G), 64M RAM Any ideas? thanks Radu
