Greetings, I have tried to install the freebsd in my PC and had some troubles. My PC is Pentium 166 with 1.7 Giga disk space. I used the FIPS utility to creat a new partition. And used the novice installation program to install it. when the installation started i received at first many errors messages that there is a write problem. I guess that there was somehow a write problem writing to disk. (but maybe it can be a reading error as well) - i tried to install the freebsd from dos partition and i put whatever was in the CD disk DIST library in c:\freebsd library. also, when trying to install it a second time i received the following error: "failed to load the ROOT distribution". can you help me with those problems, thanks in advance, gil eliraz (eliraz@cs.huji.ac.il)
