Hi! I am trying to install FreeBSD on a Gateway PC with 1.6 Gb of disk space. I chose to create a 500 Mb partition for FreeBSD (using FIPS), use the FreeBSD-supplied boot manager, allocate slices automatically, and install from the DOS partition. After a few seconds, the installation stops with a "problem in root.flp" on vty1. On vty2, the last file successfully de-cpio'ed is stand/ls, and right underneath we have: "gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data -- format violated /stand/cpio: premature end of file" I compared floppies/root.flp on the CD and on the DOS partition, and they're the same. Any ideas ? Thank you for your help, Thierry.
