I've made the whole new partition (I'd like to have just one -- under /). MAKEDEV returned non-zero status -- chown and chgroup were constantly getting killed, because of "floating exception" (the same exception was also killing du and some other programs, during my previous attempts). Install, however, told me, that installation was succesfull, and I rebooted (I did remove the boot-floppy first). Both of my harddrives were probed correctly. Then Install menu came up again. I was surprised by that and went to check out the partitions again: "No disks found", was a verdict (install seems to be refusing its own existence (-: )... Here is a summary again: chown, chgrp (du and some others too) die from "floating exception" Install said that installation was succesful Now Install, which comes up (for uknown reasons) from the disk tells me: "No disks found" My configuration: Western Digital 170Mb drive -- ~112 is devoted for FreeBSD (including swap), the rest is under DOS. The second drive has an extended partition, it is, however, probed and correctly recognized as Conner 330M. Hope this can help enhance the beautifull system, and someone will help me to start enjoy it again :-) Thank you, -mi -- The following two lines are NOT related to each other!
