I = have run into a few problems I thought you may be able to assist with. After configuring the hard drive's second partition (Western Digital 10G = EIDE using 2700MB for the BSD partition) and resuming the install, a = message come up telling me that it could not copy the corresponding = files to the location specified. At this point I could no longer do = anything except to boot up using the CD #2. I am not sure if this is = due to the ATAPI CD drive or misconfiguration of the hard drive. THE = CD-ROM drive was purchased new in February but contains no = documentation, part numbers etc. I have just reformatted the hard drive once again and would like to try = installing in same position. Any assistance would be helpful. Thank you Scott A.
