Hello Installation of freebsd5.2 with minimal installation ( fast install )complete . After reboot the machine for the first time and bring os up, OS actually do not work. it boot with all kind of funny characters and the screen keep rolling forever. my system is cyrix MII 686.-300MHZ. 30G MAXTOR -drive. It was working with windows and FreeBSD4.6. After trying 5.2. with using "DD"mode to install unsuccessfully. I had follow the advice to run dos fdisk and format (fat-32) the drive; but now the drive seem only work with dos not windows and other OS... The funny thing it always fail during copying files to mount partittion... failed on ffs_cluster ...for freebsd and for openbsd it has problems with /mnt/usr during installation. With windows 2000/xp it has problems after completely copy files to harddrive and when system reboot it hung with hardware errror or blah. blah... My guessing it is must be wrong with bios on this drive.. but i dont know how... I have already lowlevel format the drive successfully. .. I need help on this.. Is anyone has any ideas how to fix it? I'm greatly appreciated. Regards, Khai Dao _______________________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
