 I've been doing so for as long as I can remember and I've never had an

In fact, trying to set the geometry can mung up the installation.

Someone should make some explicit changes - at least in messages
and documentation in this regard.   It has been a decade since
this geometry thing has been obsolete.   I don't know enough to
make a completely accurate statement or I would submit something.

Installation error. Command returned status 36

2008-06-23 Thread Viacheslav Chumushuk
Hello.
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 7.0, but I have next problem.
When installation program write new partitions structure to disc it exits with 
next error: Unable to make new root file system on /dev/ad1s1a! Command 
returned status 36.

And at the start of installation process I have warning about wrong disk 
geometry.

My HDD is Segate ST340810A 40Gb, and I was trying write geometry (which I 
found on its case and in BIOS), but without success.
The same problem with FreeBSD 6.2 and another my HDD.
But hardware looks good, because Linux and OpenBSD was installed without any 
problems.

Thanks for help.

Have you tried _not speficying a geometry? In my experience it is best
to let the install program figure it out. I have always ignored the
warning at the beginning of the installation process without problems.

Hey Viacheslav,

I always ignore that message every time I will install fresh FreeBSD
It doesn't not create error or anything during the installation.

Cheers...
