Lines: 28 Message-ID: <4ch7s4$p4d@natasha.rmii.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: rainbow.rmii.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I am trying to help someone install FreeBSD 2.1 on a Zeos Pantera 133MHz Pentium. The hard drive is a four gig Seagate (ST-15150) SCSI drive. The controller is a PCI Buslogic BT-946C SCSI card. Going through the installation process, fdisk works whether we assign the entire disk (prefered) or make something like a 400 meg partition. After we set up the slice sizes and mount points (we chose default values) we get the following errors: Unable to swap to /dev/sd0s1b. Device not configured. Then... Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/rsd0a! Command return status 1. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Is this just due to stupid Zeos hardware? I have never seen this problem on my other FreeBSD installations and have had other OS installation problems with Zeos hardware.
