Maybe you can learn more on the real problem by watching the messages on the second "virtual" console by pressing 'Alt+F2' during the installation process. > However, if I were you, I wouldn't install 5.1 at all, now that 5.2 > is available. Completely, but the installation should function for the old version too. -- -jg. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I don't recall using disk 2 during installation; I think it's just a rescue disk. I'm wondering if you have simply run out of space on /usr, 1.5GB is quite small. A default FreeBSD installation will allocate only a few hundred MB for /, and give almost all the space to /usr (/home is then linked to /usr/home). However, if I were you, I wouldn't install 5.1 at all, now that 5.2 is available. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Not able install FreeBSD 5.1 properly
Hi, I am facing problem in installation of FreeBSD 5.1. The system configuration is â P IV 2.4 GHz with two hard drives & 1 CDROM & 1 CDRW. I am trying to install FreeBSD in primary slave, in a primary partition of size 4GB. I have given 200MB as swap, 1500MB as /usr and rest to / . When it asks for installation source, I selected CDRW. But during the installation process, it never asked for Disk 2. So, it said that it could not find some packages. How can I use Disk 2 during installation? Also, I copied both disk 1 & 2 in C:/FREEBSD (this is in primary master harddrive) and tried to do the installation using the âDOSâ option that comes during installation. But It says it could not find any dos partition. Please helpâ Regards, Sushobhan __ Introducing the New Netscape Internet Service.
