When I partition my hdd and it 'should' start formatting the disk, I get = these errors: "Unable to swap to /dev/ad0s1b: invalid arg" "Unable to make new root fs on /dev/ad0s1a!" "Couldn't make fs properly. Aborting" while i get this in my debug screen : ad0 coudln't find label (disk label corrupted) ad0s1 coudln't find label (disk label corrupted) DEBUG Scanning disk ad0 for root fs / swap partitions can't open /dev/ad0s1a: invalid arguments I get the same with FreeBSD 4.6-R and 4.8-R, but in OpenBSD 3.3 and = FreeBSD 5.1 it works flawless... I don't understand, isn't there a way for me to = install FreeBSD 4.x ??? Thanks Greetings, Wouter
