I've installed FreeBSD 4.3.
-Configured kernel
-Made partitions on hdd(tried on single, onto the second,the only partition etc.)
-Set whereto install bootmng
Then instalation program made filesystem: "All filesystems written successfully"
But next window(coping /kernel....) returned error:
"Copy returned error status of 1. Couldn't clone the boot floppy onto the root
filesystem."
When I then tried to continue with instalation coping every package ended
with: "Write faliure on transfer! Unable to transfer the ... distribution from 
acd0c."

I have PCI bus, 486DX2/66MHz,Western Digital 10GB EIDE ATA100 C16383 H16 S63
Other parameters are (as I think) nonsignificant.

Could you help me to solve thos problem in order to install FreeBSD?
