If you want something faster than UDMA-33 with your hard drive(s) though (assuming you have EIDE hard drives), you should connect it/them with an 80-pin cable. Also, your BIOS should have the CD drive set to boot before the hard drive(s). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: help installing FreeBSD
I'm sorry, I think I didn't explain it very well... When I choose the media type, a message is shown warning that '...this is the last chance... we can take no responsabillity. I hit 'ok' and then a message appears saying 'writing partitions...' and a few seconds later appears one message saying 'Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0s1a! Command returned status 36' (sometimes the 'Command returned status 1'). I hit 'ok' and then appears: 'Couldn't make filesystems properly. Aborting'. And finally the last message I receive is 'Instalation completed with some errors. You may wish to scroll through...' At this point is where I press Alt+F2 and the errors (the WRITE_DMA errors) are shown. Is not necessary to press Alt+F2 but I read it somewhere. I hope you know now where do these errors are shown, if not please respond me again and I'll try to explain it better. By the way, I don't think is the checksum because I was trying to install FreeBSD 5.4 at first and the same error occured, but I will check the checksum, is just that... excuse my ignorance, but what is the checksum of my ISO image and how do I verify it Sorry I know that is a stupid question... As somebody already mentioned, it could very well be an issue with your hard drive - but the simplest thing to do is first verify that your ISO and, thus, your CDROM image aren't corrupt. A checksum is basically a value generated from a data file using some sort of calculation method (in this case, using an md5 hash). This value can then be later used to verify nothing has changed in the data file and that you have downloaded it with no errors. This is a common thing to see in the open source world. If you want more information on this, more can be found from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum . If you are downloading on a Windows machine, you can use the md5sum utility (download here http://www.etree.org/md5com.html ). Once you have the ISO file, you can simpy place both the md5sum.exe utility and ISO in the same directory and run it like so: C:\Documents and Settings\dstanford\Desktop*md5sum.exe 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso* This will generate a value which you can then compare with what the valueshould be, hereftp://ftp1.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.1/CHECKSUM.MD5. If the two values match up, then you know the downloaded file (ISO) is the same as the one on the server and that there were no errors while downloading.

Re: help installing FreeBSD
I've got a Maxtor of 60GB as primary master. My geometry is wrongly reported by the installation program, it reports a geometry of 119108/16/63 while the BIOS reports one of 1024/240/63. If I'm not mistaken, I believe this is a long-time bug in the installer. I've installed several times seeing this error and never had a problem. However, to be safe you could always manually specify the geometry of your disk in the fdisk utility during install. I think this has nothing to do since I'm planning to have FreeBSD as the only OS of the machine, but you never know... These errors are shown just after I leave the partition editor, when they give the warning of making Back ups. Then the 'Writing partitions; message is shown and then the last one that says: Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0s1a! Command returned status 36 I'm confused. At what point are you pressing Alt-F2? There isn't any point during the installation, that I can think of, that requires you hitting Alt-F2. Though, in reference the short error message above, I would first recommend verifying the checksum of your ISO and then reburning it - start with the simple things :). -David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# fortune Happiness is just an illusion, filled with sadness and confusion. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have downloaded the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp and image copied them on to the floppies and booted my system with those floppies. Now when it prompts for the further installation I have selected the ftp passive because i have a firewall to my lab. but it says could not log on to the ftp. My question is If I want to load it from a CD. What should I write on the CD from the ftp site. I am too confused with the directories in the ftp site. Please help me what to download from the ftp site. And are there any bootable images for the complete installation process in the ftp site. Thanks in advance. Venkat __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I am trying to install Free-BSD on a Pentium-II machine with 10 GB hard disk space. I have downloaded the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp and image copied them on to the floppies and booted my system with those floppies. Now when it prompts for the further installation I have selected the ftp passive because i have a firewall to my lab. but it says could not log on to the ftp. My question is If I want to load it from a CD. What should I write on the CD from the ftp site. I am too confused with the directories in the ftp site. Please help me what to download from the ftp site. And are there any bootable images for the complete installation process in the ftp site. Thanks in advance.

Re: Need help installing FreeBSD
My question is If I want to load it from a CD. What should I write on the CD from the ftp site. I am too confused with the directories in the ftp site. Download the ISO image. ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.7 You will need only first ISO image. You will need a cd burning software (Nero is my choice). :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
