RE: Installing 5.4 BSD
-Original Message- I am trying to install Free BSD 5.4 and I am having all kinds of trouble. Can someone steer me the right direction. The system boots up fine and I am going through the process fine. I have my partitions done fine as the system creates the partitions and gets to sysinstall. At this point I get an error that says Unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0 and that's where it fails. If I say no it goes further but cannot make the root password change. If I reboot the system it comes to a prompt with boot and fails. I tried on two systems with the same result. What am I doing wrong. Also I am making the entire disk on the system for Free BSD.

RE: Installing 5.4 BSD
In regard to the same problem below, I was able to install the system 5.3 but not 5.4 and only if I use the default options for partitions. I could not choose my own options to change the size of the /usr /var volumes. If I stayed with the default then the system found acd0 to load the base distribution otherwise it would not load the base distribution or even find the acd0. Any ideas!!!

Having the same problems on multiple machines would also point to that. You also might have downloaded the Mini disc for minimum install, that's probably not what you want, download the first disc. pgpOdunaGla0N.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
