Deslippe" Subject: Error Message 22 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying for the first time to set up FreeBSD (it's also my first UNIX installation). I am trying a small (USER) install on a second IDE harddrive on my system. I have created a small DOS partition (80Mb), created a DOS directory called FreeBSD, and filled it with /bin /docs /dict /manpages files and directories from your FTP server (Micro Center was out of your CD and I'm in a hurry). I booted off the floppy and ran the novice install - after a few dry runs (mostly because I wasn't paying attention), I got it to run all the way up to COMMIT. During the process of trying to create the file system, it bombs out and gives an error that says: error mounting /dev/wd2s2 on /dos: invalid argument (22) wd2s2 is the name of the DOS partition What do I need to do? If God's your co-pilot, switch seats! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Michael P.
