>Description:
I am installing Free-BSD latest version on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
over as an host on Hyper-V which is the virtualization technology comes bundled
with the product !!
Hope you know about that !!
I have tried the
FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso
and
FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
both have unsuccessful installation results
I have tried installation a couple of times. The dvd works great and shows all
the options.
I have tried the installations with standard, Express and custom installation
options.
I am choosing to install it in entire disk.
Then under "Install Boot Manager for drive ad0?"
<I think there is some problem here>
I have tried it a couple of times with all the three options> But none of them
works
Under Label : I have chosen "Auto Defaults".
Under Distributions i have chosen:
"Developer", "Kern-Developer" and "User"
Media type:
CD/DVD
and then i click commit
Everything works up till here:
Then it shows the progress bar, Message : "Extracting base into / directory".
In the end this message is shown:
==============================================
Message
Write Failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes)
(100%)
==============================================
Now if it goes back to the same screen where it says :
"Choose custom installation options"
It is this time that i got this error!!
Earlier it was once when the write was successful and then i rebooted the
machine but that time it was giving strange error after the reboot saying that
there are no Boot manager
>How-To-Repeat:
Please install the latest version of freebsd on and over Hyper-V on windows
2008 R2 as guests
I have tried to install version 7 over hyper-V and it goes all fine and then it
reboots well , but there is another problem there : I am unable to do "startx"
Plz help me
because i am a freeBSD fan and i want to use this Operation system as my base
(host) Os in future : Like using it with xen
Please help me so that i can try my hands on FreeBSD
>Fix:
I think that FreeBSD is not able to write the boot partitions onto the disk or
not even anything at all
