Hi, I don't know if this one made it to the list before, but here it is: I have a P5/166, 48Mb RAM, 2.1Gb IDE HD. The HD is partitioned as follows: DOS 400Mb FreeBSD 700Mb WinNT 900Mb The FreeBSD slice has /, SWAP, /var and /usr, with the / partition within 500Mb. The install works fine until after it asks for the install source (which is an MS-DOS partition). It then attempts to do the commit operation, and write the files, but comes back with a message stating that the HD is "read-only". It tries to copy the files, and says, "Wrote -1 bytes ....". I have tried installing FreeBSD about 6 times, trying different things, but have always met with this stumbling block. Please help. Thanks. Sanjeev Athalye Qualcomm Inc. Q-123B4 (619) 658-1853.
