Hi, I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 on my 1.6GB HD (3148 cyls / 16 heads / 63 sectors). This is a minimal installation procedure (will install everything when Walnut's CD-ROM finally arrives :-) The FDISK picture is: ____: Offset, Size, End, Name, ..., Flags BOOT: 0, 63, 62, -, ..., _DOS: 63, 1588545, 1558607, wd0s1, ..., _BSD: 1588608, 1584576, 3173183, wd0s2, ..., CB Again and again the installation fails while retrieving the binaries from wd0s1 (DOS) after being about 64% through. The message is: "Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 10240 bytes)" Please note that wd0s2 was scanned for bad blocks. Besides, it's a new computer that otherwise runs DOS/Windows smoothly (a Micron P133 Millennea). Any clues? Thank you. Best Regards, Enoch Wexler. -- Wexler Computer Systems Development Ltd.
