I've done lots of FreeBSD/i386 installs and several Linux/alpha installs, but this is my first FreeBSD/alpha install. I've got a PWS433a that has run RedHat6.2, SuSE6.3 and SuSE7.0 (768MB RAM, SRM-bootable Tekram SCSI card). I can boot the FreeBSD/alpha 4.3 CD-ROM just fine. I partition my drive (using either the AUTO setting or my own settings), then I pick a "canned" distribution. When things start to write to the drive I get errors such as: Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 240640 bytes) and /mnt: write failed, file system is full I've tried it several times, using the basic, quick, and expert installs -- same errors each time. Ug. Any clues?? -- "When a man is tired of London he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." -- Samuel Johnson -- Michael A.
