I am trying to install FreeBSD 1.0 on my 386DX with a ST506 Drive.
There are already a DOS and Double Spaced Drive partitions.

The error I get is that the disklabel is not written, and consequently the
disk label cannot be found.

Any ideas on where I am going wrong?
Is there a patch I need?

Any help someone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
