Hi,

I was looking for a mailbox to send install problems to, but i couldn't find
one in the documentation, so please redirect me. I'll include some text on
my problem anyhow.
I've got an ESDI hard disk. The 1st partiton is 220 mb for DOS, and the
rest, 101 mb, is for FreeBSD. I've booted off the boot_144.flp image and
have done my fdisk work. I then used disklabel to set-up partition 'a' as 76
mb for '/' and 'b' as 25 mb for 'swap'. So I've made everything as simple as
possible. When I come out of disklabel and choose proceed, it comes up with
a windows titled progress, saying 'newfs /dev/rwd0a' then the errors start
happening; the 1st error says 'wd0 interrupt timeout status 59 error 0'.
After a few more errors it comes up with a window titled fatal and says
'exec (/stand/newfs) failed, code 9216'.
I've tried various alterations with my disklabel set-up etc., but to no
avail. Can you help plz...
