In regard to the same problem below, I was able to install the system =
5.3 but=20
not 5.4 and only if I use the default options for partitions. I could =
not choose
my own options to change the size of the /usr & /var volumes. If I =
stayed with the default=20
then the system found acd0 to load the base distribution otherwise it =
would not load the=20
base distribution or even find the acd0. Any ideas!!!

I am trying to install Free BSD 5.4 and I am having all kinds of =
trouble. Can someone steer me the right direction. The system boots up =
fine and I am going through the process fine. I have my partitions done =
fine as the system creates the partitions and gets to sysinstall. At =
this point I get an error that says "Unable to transfer the base =
distribution from acd0" and that's where it fails. If I say no it goes =
further but cannot make the root password change. If I reboot the system =
it comes to a prompt with boot and fails. I tried on two systems with =
the same result. What am I doing wrong. Also I am making the entire disk =
on the system for Free BSD. Thanks,

VJ
