Write failure on transfer for FTP install

[Erik Norgaard]

Hi,

I am trying to install via FTP, interactive or scripted install gives 
the same result:

   Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes)

after fetching first chunk - I have tried multiple ftp sites.

sysinstall complains about the diskgeometry:

WARNING: A geometry of 116280/16/63 on ad0 isincorrect. Using a more 
likely gemoetry....

CYL/HEAD/SEC:
Label on disk says: 16383/16/63
BIOS says: 28728/16/255
kernel says: 116280/16/63
sysinstall says: 7296/255/63

It may all have gone wrong because I first had "diskpartion=exclusive" 
rather than "all". This is a Hitachi Travelstar ~60GB (57231MB), I have 
previously had FBSD 4.10 on it.

Even if I accept sysinstalls suggenstions and partion the disk as I 
normally would, it then fails with the write error.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks, Erik
