I have extracted from it. Made the boot floppies. Started the installation. I got passed all of the basic stuff..... partitioned my hardrive.. have the three partitions... everything goes fine until the installer starts to look for the /bin directory on my DOS partition. Here's the thing. I have three partitions on my C drive During the partitioning it recognizes my drives as ad0 ad1 and ad3 the partition I'm installng from should be ad0s2 or ad0s3 but it chokes everytime I try to set the install to boot from DOS or as another file system. What am I missing? Can the installer see all three partitions? Should I redo my DOS drives? thank you, Steffin Spears To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
