To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Using the BSD 4.0 Boxed set I have, using the orginal, manufactured CDs: I am trying to install free BSD on an old AST advantage 8075p on to a 4gig conner CFP4207S drive. Adaptec 2940W/UW scsi card. The machine is a pentium 1, and has a 4X Toshiba ATAPI CDROM drive model XM5302B. I boot from floppy disk with the CDROM in the drive and the install proceeds fine until I get: Unable to transfer the Servers/XSVGA distribution from acd0c do you want to try to retrieve it again? ALT-F2 gives the following message: acd0: READ_BIG - MEDIUM ERROR asc=15 ascq=00 error=00 /stand/gunzip: failed gzclose /stand/cpio: premature end of file the first time I just selected no for that package and several there after to get out of the install and started over. Now on the second try, the same error has occured. What's going on here? Free BSD is happy with the CDROM until this point. I have just completed installing Openstep without difficulty on the ATA/EIDE drive, so I know this machine should work with a BSD type unix OS. I'd like to know how to get this install to work, but the usenet archives only show people having the same problem but no posted solutions. thanks, -Bp ===== -- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
