I figured that the 2.0.5A release was stable enough that I would give it try. Unfortunatly, I can't get it to install. After I "commit", I get a input/output error while trying to write the partition information to sd2. I can't state the error exactly because the machine reboots too quickly. I thought the message said I could "hit any key" to abort the reboot, but that just causes it to reboot imediatly :( System: 100 MHz DX4 ASUS motherboard Adaptec 2842A MICROP Model: 1624-07MZ1077811 MAXTOR Model: P1-17S MICROP Model: 3243-19SC21020AV PLEXTOR Model: CD-ROM PX-4XCH WangDAT Model: Model 3200 I am trying to put the FreeBSD root on sd1, and the rest of it (/usr, /usr/local, swap, and home) on the second half of sd2. sd2 is a 4gig disk. Is my problem, the fact that I am trying to put it beyond the 2gig mark on this drive? I am telling it not to mess with the MBR, because I use OS/2's boot manager. I also have DOS and Linux installed on this machine. I am using the 2.0.5A boot disks dated Jun 4 12:09 from freefall.cdrom.com. Thanks for any tips, John | | +--+ == | John Patrick Poet | | | jpoet@rt66.com | +---+ | |
