Subject: 2.2-ALPHA installation problem.
Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk


I'm trying to install 2.2-ALPHA on an IDE drive (120MB, 60MB root, 60MB swap)
minimal installation. At 98% of the bin extract I'm getting 

Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes)

What could be the cause? Bad hardware (it's a Maxtor 7120 IDE disk) ?
