Hey everyone,
I have the FreeBSD DVD (amd64) and, during an install, used the Fixit
option (while choosing to mount the DVD as the live filesystem) to
load a kernel module. After exiting the fixit shell and attempting a
standard install, when it came time to install packages, I got the
following error:
Error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist: Input/output error (5)
[...]
Ok, so it turns out that the reason for this was that I was using a VM.
I tested this on an ordinary system, and when you exit the Fixit prompt,
it ejects the disk. This was happening in the VM, only I didn't realize
it because the CD-ROM was being emulated. When it came time to mount
the disk a second time, the disk wasn't there, and so that's why it was
complaining.
