Using install floppies from the FreeBSD 3.0 CD. Disk (Quantum 6GB SCSI C/H/S = 783/255/63 on BusLogic BT-948) is sliced da0s1 47MB id=6 DOS da0s2 1024M id=160 da0s3 1024M id=165 FreeBSD I have installed 3.0 into da0s3 and it seems OK. When I try to install into da0s2 I change the slice id (in the FreeBSD slice editor the installation floppy starts) to 165. When I get to the FreeBSD Disklabel Editor and try to create a 64MB root filesystem it says "This region cannot be used for your root partition as the FreeBSD boot code cannot deal with a root partition created in that location." What is the problem ? I have tried setting the id of slice da0s3 to 160 so the installation does not see the existing copy of FreeBSD but this does not help. Thanks, Ian. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- E-mail: Ian Edwards Date: 11-Jun-99 Time: 12:17:28 Early Music Record Labels - http://www.concerto.demon.co.uk/ The 'ups' debugger for C/C++ - http://www.concerto.demon.co.uk/UPS/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
