Hi, Thanks for all your comments everyone.
The FreeBSD version 6.1 was downloaded (ISO image) from the production release page (some mirror site). My PC is a Pentium 4 (915G) , 512MB sdram, 128MB video memory, Maxtor SATA HDD, OS - (Windows (C:), Linux (/,swap), BSD(/,swap,tmp,var,usr). The FS selected was UFS2. Also the packages selected were "X packages + all the normal stuff" Next comes the screen, where it asks do I want to commit the partitions. I hit yes and it aborts. /Arun On 6/15/06, Eric Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Can you report the actual /dev/* it warns about? What kind of system is it? Also - you might try a FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE CD instead of -CURRENT, as -CURRENT is considered 'beta', and any -RELEASE should be stable.
