Hello, I'm brand new to FreeBSD and have been trying for the past few days to get it going on my second hard disk (which I am devoting to FreeBSD). I have a CD-Rom of 4.2 (Stable) and am installing from scratch. I boot from the CD and follow the instructions on creating FreeBSD partitions. I use the (ALL) option when creating what I think is a 'slice'. Then I use the automatic option to create the different partitions such as /var /usr and Swap. All goes well, I choose the distribution (ALL), but here comes my problem on the next screen, an error message displays the following:- Unable to swap to /dev/adb1slb Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad1sla ...and the install bails.... When doing Alt-F2 i get :- Can't open PC-card controller /dev/card0 . . newfs /dev/adlsla: Device Not Configured I've looked high and low for answers, please help, thanks for your time, Stephen Jayna sdjayna@hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
