Hello netters,


	I am new to bsd and I have download freebsd 1.1.5.1
	I tried several times to install it, I follow the instructions,
	but after installing the bin set and configure and reboot. I was
given the following message:

	panic: init died
	syncing
	dump to ???

	then count down and the reboot and the process go on forever.

	could some one tell me how to solve it?

	I have a conner 420M harddisk and recognise as 405M(826 cyl).


	also the system said that the wd0 wd1 have no label.
	how to come around this and is it the cause of the above
problem?

Thanks
