It's a P5/ASUS Board with a NCR SCSI and Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM and a QUANTUM 4GB SCSI hdd. There are a 500MB a extended partion (with 2 logical drives 500MB/1000MB) and a NTFS partion with WIN NT 3.5. So I have 1GB free for installing FreeBSD. There are no problems creating the partion for bsd - 64MB (root) 96 MB (swap) and the rest should be usr. All was fine - write and confirm. Choice of standard mbr (I tried all 3 options at the mbr menu) and OK --> "writing .... " panic: going now here without my init I have no idea - any hints from the specialsts?
