I'm currently trying to setup FreeBSD 3.1 on my Multia. I updated the firmware to the latest version and downloaded the two boot floppies. Everything seems to go well (despite a number of buffer underrun/overrun errors, but those seem to be recovered nicely) until sysinstall tries to write the partition table to the hard drive at which time it tells me that it couldn't turn on swap on the swap partition and that it cannot write the partition table/mount the root device. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but has anyone else encountered this, and if so how was it resolved? I'll be taking it apart later on to see if there's anything that can be changed on the hard drive that might help (jumper-wise)... Please write back to me directly as I'm not currently subscribed to this mailing list. -Dan "Come give anyone of us, for instance, a little more independence, untie our hands, widen the spheres of our activity, relax the controls and we -- yes, I assure you -- we would immediately beg to be under control again." -Dostoevsky "Notes from Underground" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
