Hi Jonathan,
> What FreeBSD version are you using?
I´m tried this with the versions 3.4-RELEASE and 4.1-RELEASE
> What type of hard drive are you trying to format?
I´m have FreeBSD intalled in a IDE HD and trying to format another
IDE HD
> Has FreeBSD/Linux ever been installed on that hard drive before?
Yes, the first time had a FreeBSD 3.4 formatation, after the problem
I formated with MS-DOS FAT32 and trying to format with FreeBSD 4.1
again
> What is the exact error message?
Error mounting /dev/wd2s1e on /hd2 : Invalid argument
I got to format that HD creating a swap partition first, but I think it
isn´t necessary, but, if I don´t creating a swap partition, the formatation
don´t work.
