Hi,

I am _still_ struggling with this upgrade...

I went to http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/ and neither of
the /stand/sysinstall methods (dedicated and not) worked. Nor did I get
any telling error messages, all it said was:

Can't mount /dev/wd1e on /usr1: Invalid argument

Then I did it commandline, and during the newfs, it died with this:

wd1c: hard error writing fsbn 5309072 of 5309072-5309087 (wd1 bn
5309072; cn 5618 tn 0 sn 62)wd1: status 51<rdy,seekdone,err> error
4<abort>
write error:5309072
wtfs: Input/Output error


So, my question is: is this a hardware problem? The disk is WD Caviar
(IDE) 4.3G 8912 cyl  15 heads. Could it be anything else except that the
disk is defective (I would like to make absolute sure before I exchange
it)

Thanks again,

Roman
