Greetings I can't seem to install FreeBSD 5.0 Release on some old but functioning i386 hardware. The problem occurs just after creating the emergency holographic shell on vt4, and the error message says: Error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist: Operation not supported by device (19).
I've installed FreeBSD 4.6 on the same hardware without problem. I've mounted the 5.0 install CDRom from a 4.6 install on the same hardware (with mount /cdrom) without problem. I even tried using 'auto defaults for all' in the disklabel editor, in case /dist was a new requirement. The last messages on vt2 said: /mnt/etc/services 20 blocks DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file. (I don't have the option to boot from CDRom with this hardware.) Any ideas? TIA John. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
