Hi, Since it's not possible to install 5.9 release on the internal storage, I figured that I will try the latest snapshot from May 27th.
With the snapshot I am able to choose to install on both sd0 and sd1 which was not possible with 5.9. The installation goes for a while until I get "newfs: wtfs: write error on block 160: Input/output error". I think that the hardware is fine since I am able to install and run debian on it without problems. Any ideas? Here is the output: Available disks are: sd0 sd1. Which disk is the root disk?
