After my affirmation, it starts to format the partition etc. When it gets to the part when it's trying to install the /var, /usr, and other, it comes up with an error saying that it can't install them. Then on reboot I get a HD failure message. Only shutting the machine down and then back up will fix it. I have a 1 gig IDE conners HD, and am trying to install it on the second partition of 540 megs. >How-To-Repeat: I think it's related to FreeBSD installing on my hardware components. >Fix: I have no clue, but if you find one let me know. BSDI does the same thing as well. But linux works fine. If you come up with a solution please e-mail me. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: From: "Jordan K.

After my affirmation, it starts to format the partiti on etc. When it gets to the part when it's trying to install the /var, /usr, a nd other, it comes up with an error saying that it can't install them. Then o I'm sorry, but I'm still not getting a clear picture here. What *precisely* is failing? Look on the debug screen (ALT-F2) and tell me the last thing you see there. Without this info, I'm afraid that I'll have to close this bug report as I can't actually do anything with it.
