write failurer on transfer

2006-06-06 Thread justin schlingmann

Hello,

I`m trying to install freebsd 6.1 on my system.
I`ve tried to install through passive ftp and when this failed i tried to
fetch and burn an iso imkage.

In both ways i get a write failure on transfer when i try to install the
distributions.
What is wrong and how can i let freebsd install the distributions
properly??

Thanks in advance,
Justin.

Can you show us a transcript of what's going on?  What command
is issued, or what action is taken, that yields the response write
failure on transfer?

That can indicate a problem with your IDE drives, such as not jumpering a 
master or slave device properly, or a failing or otherwise bad IDE cable.


Some things that might help would be to recheck your cabling, replace the IDE 
cable with a new one, check for and install the latest BIOS update for your 
computer, tweak BIOS settings like UltraDMA  LBA modes.


You might also try booting and installing in Safe mode via the boot menu, 
which will disable DMA for the IDE devices entirely and might work around the 
problem long enough for the install to finish.


Good luck,
