Several trials failed, but perhaps the kind of issues do lead to the
cause. I'll describe one trial.
Power on -> Enter to boot -> Shell -> # sysinstall -> Standard ->
set up MBR partition -> ada0 -> keep geometry: yes ->
Offset Size(ST) End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags
0 63 62 - 12 unused 0
63 121274433 1212574495 ada0s1 8 freebsd 165
121274496 250 121274745 - 12 unused 0
121274746 503862599 625137344 ada0s2 4 ext.DOS 5
625137345 5103 625142447 - 12 unused 0
Q = Finish -> Boot manager: None ->
For other trials I also used W instead of Q and/or I deleted and created
ada0s1.
I always get:
"Disc slicing warning:
chunk ´ada0s2´ [121274746..625137344] does not start on track boundary"
ok --> ok -> create BSD partition: ok ->
Disk: ada0 Partition name: adaos1 Free: 121274433 blocks (59216MB)
(No Entries before) A = Auto Defaults ->
Part Mount Size Newfs
ada0s1a / 1024MB UFS2 Y
ada0s1b swap 4096MB SWAP
ada0s1d /var 7916MB UFS2+S Y
ada0s1e /tmp 1024MB UFS2+S Y
ada0s1f /usr 45156MB UFS2+S Y
If I chose Create instead of Auto, there aren't enough MB available, I
can chose Auto and than R (delete + merge), than there's enough space to
continue with Create. For this trial I only used Auto.
-> Q = Finish -> 6 Averaged User -> en Doc -> Port collection: Yes -> ok
-> 1 CD/DVD ->
"Message: Couldn't create directory /dist:
Read-only file system"
-> ok ->
"Message: Error mounting /dev/cd0 on /dist:
No such file or directory (2)"
ok -> Adjust media configuration: yes -> Options -> Nothing edited ->
Q(uit) -> Cancel -> "Installation...with some errors" (IOW no
installation ;) -> ok -> Exit install -> # exit (Exit shell, back to
installer) ->
I continued this trial with the regular installer.
Install -> Keymap..., Hostname..., [*] doc games lib32 ports [ ] src ->
Partitioning: Manual -> ada0s1 57GB BSD -> Auto -> ada0 ok -> Partition
(not entire Disk) ->
Add Partition
Type: freebsd
Size: 2551kB
Mountpoint
*?* continuing didn't work
