Sounds like you are trying to customize the slices during the install process and you are getting it wrong. Use the A option to auto config the slices for you with an default slice config that works and you should be all right from there. You sound like newbe who needs to get an base install completed and some experience under your belt before you start customizing the install process. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Claude Fournier Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 12:32 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Installation failure with version 4.9 After many attempts, I am giving up. Brand new motherboard with AMD DURON, 128 MB of DDR memory with Western Digital hard disk 64AA. Following instructions, the farther I could get is with the following messages: (1) Unable to swap to /dev/ad0s/b, device not configure or invalid argument (2) Unable to make new root file system on /dev/ad0s1a I am using only one operating system, the intended FreeBSD with one slice and 3 partitions, a root of 4 gig, a SWAP of 512 mg, and the rest for /home. Shall I try with another release?
