I'm installing from a SCSI drive (DOS) to an IDE drive. It makes the new filesystems and starts copying the files from c:\freebsd\ Everything's fine untill it gets to 'loading root image'. It bombs out with 'failed to load the root distribution. correct this problem and try again' The debug log says: gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated /stand/cpio: premature end of file Any idea what this means?
