unfortunately, i don't have any help to offer here. i just wanted to say that i ran into the same problem. i have an AS200 4/233 with 80 MB RAM and a 2.1 GB SCSI hard drive (/usr is ~1.5 GB). during the FTP install of FreeBSD/alpha 3.2-RELEASE, i get the following error: "Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes)". this occurs during the transfer of slib and appears to occur in (or around) chunk 18. i was originally running SRM 6.2-2 when i ran into this problem, but i have since upgraded to SRM 7.0-9 and am still seeing the same problem. does anyone know if this is a problem with the distrobution? or if this is a problem isolated to AS200 4/233s? or what? if i need to provide more information, don't hesitate to ask. -bjp On Fri, 27 Aug 1999, Don wrote: # Problem: # While attempting to install FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE on my Alpha I keep getting # an error that the machine could not transfer slib (while installing # /usr/src) This has occurred several times and occurs with the boot # floppies in the 3.2 release and 3.2 stable directories.
