I have a quick question on FreeBSD 4.6. I have used previous versions of there operating system on my computer versions 4.2 and 4.4. But for some reason the installation on version 4.6 keeps crashing on me. Has anyone else run into this problem. I had purchased there power pak version boxed set and thought maybe something was wrong with the installation cd at first so I tried it on another computer and the install went fine. The point it crashes at is when it gets ready to copy the main OS files to hard drive, it keeps giving me a can't write to device error. Could the problem be that it's just not picking up my hard drive correctly or does anyone else have any ideas on what else it could be. Here's a list of hardware that I'm running on the computer that I'm having trouble with on this version. Email me at netrattler@erols.com if anyone has any ideas. Intel PIII 450MHZ Kingston 256MB sdram Geforce 2 400MX 64MB A-Trend motherboard Realtek RTL8139 NIC US Robotics 56k external modem Soundblaster Audigy platinum (I know it doesn't work with freebsd just haven't had time to swap it out yet to my new system.)
