People,
I'm almost done with the installation on my test platform.
The reason newfs was erroring was a WRITE err; I finally
booted single-user and fsck's /usr, then tried the
CD sysinstall for the Nth time N >=1, <= 70 :-|
Everything worked; from there is was a matter of getting
files in /etc set.
For sure, the past few days have been a learning experience.
Understanding how to partition the 4 slices is a major win.
I have one question. Now when I boot I see
F1: ???
F2 FreeBSD
Can anybody tell me what to add to /boot (??) so the loader
prints "DOS" instead of "???" If the sysinstall scripts
recognize NTFS, what's wrong with the loader?
thanks for the help,
gary
