Hi,
I'm trying to install OpenBSD 4.0 on a Soekris net4801 but I just can't
complete the install. I'm stalled when the install attempts to write the
new partitions to the disk. It fails with:
"mount_ffs: /dev/wd0a on /mnt: Invalid argument"
Any ideas how I can fix this and get on with the install? The disk in
question is a Seagate Momentus ST94813A 40GB. I've pasted the entire
install log below. I've spotted the CRC errors on wd0 and have changed
the cable, but to no avail.
Thanks a lot in advance,
jules

Welcome to the OpenBSD/i386 4.0 install program.
This program will help you install OpenBSD in a simple and rational way. At
any prompt except password prompts you can run a shell command by typing
'!foo', or escape to a shell by typing '!'. Default answers are shown in []'s
and are selected by pressing RETURN. At any time you can exit this program by
pressing Control-C and then RETURN, but quitting during an install can leave
your system in an inconsistent state.
Terminal type? [vt220]
kbd(8) mapping? ('L' for list) [none]
IS YOUR DATA BACKED UP? As with anything that modifies disk contents, this
program can cause SIGNIFICANT data loss.
It is often helpful to have the installation notes handy. For complex disk
configurations, relevant disk hardware manuals and a calculator are useful.
Proceed with install? [no] yes
Cool! Let's get to it.
You will now initialize the disk(s) that OpenBSD will use. To enable all
available security features you should configure the disk(s) to allow the
creation of separate filesystems for /, /tmp, /var, /usr, and /home.
Available disks are: wd0.
Which one is the root disk? (or 'done') [wd0]
Do you want to use *all* of wd0 for OpenBSD? [no] yes
Putting all of wd0 into an active OpenBSD MBR partition (type 'A6')...wd0: no
disk label
done.
You will now create an OpenBSD disklabel inside the OpenBSD MBR
partition. The disklabel defines how OpenBSD splits up the MBR partition
into OpenBSD partitions in which filesystems and swap space are created.
The offsets used in the disklabel are ABSOLUTE, i.e. relative to the
start of the disk, NOT the start of the OpenBSD MBR partition.
# Inside MBR partition 3: type A6 start 63 size 78107967
Treating sectors 63-78108030 as the OpenBSD portion of the disk.
You can use the 'b' command to change this.

Available commands:
? [cmnd] - this message or command specific help.
a [part] - add new partition.

c [part] - change partition size.
D - set label to default.
d [part] - delete partition.
e - edit drive parameters.
g [b|d|u] - use [b]ios, [d]isk or [u]ser geometry.
M - show entire OpenBSD man page for disklabel.
m [part] - modify existing partition.
n [part] - set the mount point for a partition.
