Hi, Regarding my question... --------------------------------- From: Self <Enoch> To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Installation Problem (Urgent) Reply-to: wexler@datasrv.co.il Date: Wed, 14 Feb 1996 22:43:15 +2 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? -------------------------------------- Is it simply because 2.1 only supports standard IDE and not the new (and popular) Enhanced IDE. Would moving FreeBSD to lower numbered blocks help?
