I already have FreeBSD installed on my laptop - V 3.3
(Sony VAIO - PIII 450/128MB/12GB/YamahaYMF744/NEOMAGIC256)

Currently it's installed on the hard drive, as the 3rd partition. (I use a
boot-manager to select FreeBSD.)

I simply need to grab the install floppies for the 'current' release, (I
have them already) and install a 'fresh' install of 'Current.'

(Why?) I've read the 'current' supports the YMF744 for sound.

What happens when I run the 'boot' floppy, then install the 'mfsroot'  -
(remove any un-needed devices) all is fine, however - the system gets to
the:

"Please Wait, Probing For Devices" and reports:

"Unable to open disk md1 - press any key to reboot"

I've installed FreeBSD numerous times - this is the first this has happend.

Any help? Greatly Appreciated.

Regards,

Bill
