Staal > I had the same problem. Today, I tried using the PCBSD dvd to install FreeBSD on ZFS (with /boot on UFS). It kept giving errors just before completion. However, some comments I found while googling about that problem mentioned that the installation seemed to have completed, which seems to be the case. Both FreeBSD and FreeDOS are now installed on the same drive (in a VM, I'll try this on real h/w next). Still not sure what caused the error during installation though. Regards Gautham Ganapathyhelp
