I had the following configs: Celeron with IDE drive: made one partition, then disklabeled for /, /var, /usr and /usr/local. Failed on /, worked commiting again. Tried sysinstall only. K6-233 with Adaptec 2940UW: 4GB SCSI drive for /, /usr, /usr/local and /var. Failed with sysinstall, recommitted and worked. 2x9GB SCSI disks, configured as ccd0, newfs first time fails, tried newfs again fails, but the file system is mountable. K6-200 with IDE drive 4GB: two partition, 2GB for Win95, 2GB for FreeBSD. Made disklabel with sysinstall, 1. commit fails on /, second worked. > > Thanks! > > - Jordan > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-769-2936 Alameda Networks, Inc. | http://www.Alameda.net | Fax#: 510-521-5073 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
