I re-partitioned my 4 gig drive, so that I could intall FreeBSD 2.0.5A in the first 2gig instead of the 2nd 2gig --- everything work great. Decided to try and partition the 2nd 2gig -- no joy. I am suppose to run fdisk on it, right? Anyway, tried booting the 2.0.5A install disk again to partition the drive and got the exact same result as when I first tried to install FreeBSD 2.0.5A on it: sysinstall: read Input/Ouput error panic: going nowhere without my init There deffinately seems to be something wrong with the new slicing mechanism when talking to a disk over 2gig. A couple of months ago I managed to get the april snap installed on the 2nd 2gig of that drive, so this is something new with 2.0.5. I can also use the 2nd 2gig of the drive for a Linux partition, without any trouble. I suppose I could try partitioning the WHOLE 4gig as one big partion for FreeBSD, but I would like to split it so I can easily repartion for another operating system if I need to. I would be willing to do it as a test, if anyone wants me to.
