Hello all, Please be aware that I am not currently subscribed to this list. If you respond please be sure to CC it to my email, rstan@ime.net with instruction on how to subscribe. :) Thank you. I am having a problem with FreeBSD 2.2.2. I had elected to do the FTP installation and things seem to go fine. Using the holographic shell on tty4, I even go through the file system as it is being built and everything looks fine. I chose to do the minimal installation and then I would add XFree86, doc, sources, and so on at a later time. I get to the point where the download is completed and I am told that my machine will reboot and start FreeBSD from the hard disk. As my machine is booting up, the devices are probed as you would expect. But then I see this message : /etc/rc: Can't open /etc/rc init: /etc/spwd.db: No such file or directory Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: Uhm... what is that? :) Then, when I perform a "df" to see my disk utilization, all I see is : root_device "some stuff about usage" / My mount points are gone. I have tried this both with Win95 and FreeBSD sharing the HD, and with FreeBSD claiming the entire disk, both with the same results. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you, - Richard
