Hi, I am trying to install via FTP, interactive or scripted install gives the same result: Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes) after fetching first chunk - I have tried multiple ftp sites. sysinstall complains about the diskgeometry: WARNING: A geometry of 116280/16/63 on ad0 isincorrect. Using a more likely gemoetry.... CYL/HEAD/SEC: Label on disk says: 16383/16/63 BIOS says: 28728/16/255 kernel says: 116280/16/63 sysinstall says: 7296/255/63 It may all have gone wrong because I first had "diskpartion=exclusive" rather than "all". This is a Hitachi Travelstar ~60GB (57231MB), I have previously had FBSD 4.10 on it. Even if I accept sysinstalls suggenstions and partion the disk as I normally would, it then fails with the write error. Any ideas on this?
