Hello, I'm having some problems creating a new FreeBSD partition on a new HD i just recently installed. The partition is on the first 400M of the drive, which is the slave on the primary IDE chain (the boot drive is the master). I run sysinstall, and use the partition editor to delete the partition (it was initally DOS), and create a FreeBSD partition in it's place. Then I "W"rite out the changes and it says: "Wrote Fdisk Partition Information out successfully" Next I go to the label editor and try to create the actual FS (using "C"reate and using all avilable space.), however when I write out those changes, it core dumps. This is the sysinstall.debug, if it is of any help: DEBUG: Found a device of type disk named: wd0 DEBUG: Found a DOS partition wd0s1 on drive wd0 DEBUG: Found a device of type disk named: wd1 DEBUG: Found a DOS partition wd1s2 on drive wd1 DEBUG: Try for cd0a returns errno 2 DEBUG: Try for mcd0a returns errno 2 DEBUG: Try for scd0a returns errno 2 DEBUG: Try for matcd0a returns errno 2 DEBUG: Try for wcd0c returns errno 2 DEBUG: Found a device of type CDROM named: wcd0c DEBUG: Found a device of type floppy named: fd0 DEBUG: Found a device of type network named: cuaa1 DEBUG: Found a device of type network named: lp0 DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 DEBUG: Mounted FreeBSD CDROM on device /dev/wcd0c as /cdrom DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 One possible problem is that I'm using a CDROM from an older version of FreeBSD (2.0.5) than what I'm running (2.1.5), but I'm running sysinstall off of the HD, and it shouldn't even need to touch the CD (should it). Thanks
