install problem with 4.0 (spec_getpages)
Hi, While trying to boot from the 4.0 installation disks, I get the following error after the devices have been probed: (I couldn't get a screen dump, so I had to write this down) md0: raw partition size != slice size md0: start 0, end 607, size 608 md0c: start 0, end 5759, size 5760 md0: truncating raw partition md0: rejecting partition in BSD label, it isn't entirely withing the slice md0: start 0, end 607, size 608 md0a: start 0, end 5759, size 5760 spec_getpages: (#md/2) I/O read failure: (error = 22) bp 0xc31dea20 vp 0xc7739f60, size 4096, resid: 4096, a_count: 4096, valid 0x0, nread: 0, reqpage: 0, pindex: 392, pcount: 1 vmfault: pager read error, pid 1 init died (signal 6, exit 0) panic: going nowhere without my init And then it reboots, I have been looking in the mailing archives for this problem, but the latest occurence was januari last year, and it didn't look like the same problem. So has anyone any idea about how to proceed? Here is my dmesg from 3.3: Copyright (c) 1992-1999 FreeBSD Inc. Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.

I went through 8 floppies before I found a decent pair, these 3.5" things s*ck.

I suppose that's what the elf-loader under linux does. If so that would be a simple addition to the linux-lib port.
