P133 with Adaptec 2940 and two Seagate Hawk 4 (4Gb) drives. Booted FreeBSD off floppy fine, went through Novice intstall, told FreeBSD to use the whole disk, set the partitions, and WHAM! It failed. First when adding the swap partition, it claimed "Device not configured". Then, when trying to create the root partition, it failed with a return code of "1"...can anybody clue me in on this? On the side, we got a 3COM PCI Ethernet marked "3C590"...is this compatible with the 3C509? -- ====================================================================== Brian O'Neill - Director of Computing, Computer Science University of Massachusetts at Lowell oneill@cs.uml.edu (508) 934-3645 "Nothing's the same anymore." - Sinclair, Babylon 5, _Chrysalis_ <*>
