Hi, I was looking for a mailbox to send install problems to, but i couldn't find one in the documentation, so please redirect me. I'll include some text on my problem anyhow. I've got an ESDI hard disk. The 1st partiton is 220 mb for DOS, and the rest, 101 mb, is for FreeBSD. I've booted off the boot_144.flp image and have done my fdisk work. I then used disklabel to set-up partition 'a' as 76 mb for '/' and 'b' as 25 mb for 'swap'. So I've made everything as simple as possible. When I come out of disklabel and choose proceed, it comes up with a windows titled progress, saying 'newfs /dev/rwd0a' then the errors start happening; the 1st error says 'wd0 interrupt timeout status 59 error 0'. After a few more errors it comes up with a window titled fatal and says 'exec (/stand/newfs) failed, code 9216'. I've tried various alterations with my disklabel set-up etc., but to no avail. Can you help plz... Austin Cagney
