I am trying for the first time to set up FreeBSD (it's also my first UNIX
installation).  I am trying a small (USER) install on a second IDE
harddrive on my system.  I have created a small DOS partition (80Mb),
created a DOS directory called FreeBSD, and filled it with /bin /docs /dict
/manpages files and directories from the FTP server (Micro Center was out
of the CD and I'm in a hurry).

I booted off the floppy and ran the novice install - after a few dry runs
(mostly because I wasn't paying attention), I got it to run all the way up
to COMMIT.  During the process of trying to create the file system, it
bombs out and gives an error that says:

error mounting /dev/wd2s2 on /dos: invalid argument (22)

wd2s2 is the name of the DOS partition

What do I need to do?

I'm loading 2.1.5-Release
