>Number: 5499 >Category: misc >Synopsis: when setting up the partition for free bsd, it can't install it properly. >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Thu Jan 15 08:50:01 PST 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Shawn >Organization: >Release: 2.2.5 >Environment: it doesn't get far enough for me to use unix commands. >Description: After successfully connecting to the FTP site for a FTP installation, it asks me if I am really sure. After my affirmation, it starts to format the partition etc. When it gets to the part when it's trying to install the /var, /usr, and other, it comes up with an error saying that it can't install them. Then on reboot I get a HD failure message. Only shutting the machine down and then back up will fix it. I have a 1 gig IDE conners HD, and am trying to install it on the second partition of 540 megs. >How-To-Repeat: I think it's related to FreeBSD installing on my hardware components. >Fix: I have no clue, but if you find one let me know. BSDI does the same thing as well. But linux works fine. If you come up with a solution please e-mail me. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
