 Perhaps your 4GB drive had bad sectors?
 
 Well, it tested fine with Hitachi's drive fitness test:

 What other ways are there to test drives? 


That would usually be pretty definitive.
What *was* the error you got from the FreeBSD install?

Swap file errors on 4 GB drive.

2004-09-05 Thread W. D.
Hi folks,

I tried to install FreeBSD 4.9 on a computer with
a 4 GB drive, but it killed the kernel when it
got a swap file error.

I put in an 8 GB drive an everything went smoothly.

Any ideas on how to avoid error when installing 
to smaller drives?

By the way, I've been refining some notes of mine
and consolidated them into a procedure to install
FreeBSD.  Your constructive comments would be 
appreciated:
