Hello, I'm attempting to give 3.0-RELEASE a try on my Toshiba 4015CDT. 3.0 recognizes everything (flawlessley, I might add) at bootup. Everything goes smoothly until I attempt to start the actual transfer of information from the FTP site and sysinstall starts doing a newfs to prepare my drive... Sysinstall then gets rather upset and says, "Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/rwd0s2a!" and I have to abort. ALT-F2 yields: newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): Cross-device link newfs: /dev/rwd0s2a: can't rewrite disk label Is my partition table just fubar? 2.2.7-RELEASE chugs happily along. I got the same thing with the last 3.0-BETA release on a PPro SMP box I was playing with the other day. On the SMP box, it was calling my SCSI drives daX instead of sdX - is this the new terminology? Just curious. :) I fell back to an older SNAP (5/20 I believe) I'd been running on a similarly-configured box with no problems. Thanks in advance for any help... -mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
