Hi,

I've just got my copy of FreeBSD 2.0 and found 
out that I couldn't install it to my hard disk.

Here's what I did:
Following the instructions in INSTALL, using 
the hd0, labeling a(64MB) = '/', b(32MB) = 
'swap', and h(402MB) = '/usr'.

Here's the problem:
When type 'p' for proceeding, An fatal error 
msg showed up: "Exec (/stand/newfs) failed, 
code = 5888".

The debug screen said:
Progress <newfs /dev/rsd0a>
with block size of 32768 minimum bytes per 
inode is 5990
Minimum bytes per inode is 5990
With 16065 sectors per cylinder, minimum 
cylinders per group is 64
This requires the block size to be changed from 
8192 to 32768 and the fregment size to be 
changed from 1024 to 4096.

Here's my hardware configs:
Box: Gateway 2000 4DX2-66VL
	Processor: 486DX2 66
	Memory: 36MB
	Bus: Vesa Local Bus * 2
	     ISA * 6

Disk System (All SCSI):
	Adapter: Adaptec 2842VL (AIC-7770)
		VL-Bus
	Disk 1 (PUN 0, LUN 0):
		Fujitsu M2694ES-512
		ANSI SCSI-2
		1,038 MB
	Disk 2 (PUN 1, LUN 0):
		Micropolis 2217-15MQ1001901
		ANSI SCSI-2
		1,680 MB
	CD-ROM (PUN 2, LUN 0):
		NEC MultiSpin 3Xi (CDR 500)
		ANSI SCSI-2

Video System:
	Adapter: ATi Pro Turbo (Mach 64)
		VL-Bus
	VRAM: 2 MB
		
Please help! Thanks!
