Hello,
I am currently trying to install FreeBSD 2.0.5.
Problem:
I am running into a problem during the initial copy process
(just after I pressed "commit" to install).
I get a "write failure on transfer".
What I did:
I cleaned out an entire SCSI hard disk of 812 Megs by going into
DOS fdisk and removing all logical drives/partitions.
I followed the instructions to run pfdisk from the /tools
directory to find out what DOS expects to see for size/cylinders/-
sectors.
I ran the install process and set the Geometry to pfdisk's
values 812/64/32.
I labeled:
mount size
/usr 100M
/ 300M
swap 80M
I commit and watch a bunch of stuff get copied to root.
It makes it all the way to /usr/sgames and then gets the
"write failure on transfer".
Bummer.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
