I downloaded the latest FreeBSD dvd image to install it on my Thinkpad X61 from a USB CD-ROM, it boots and starts the setup successfully but when I am asked to select the installation source it tells me that there is no disc in the CD-ROM, then when I restart the setup by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, it finds the disc and starts formatting the slices, but when starts installing the base packages I get those "create/symlink failed, no inodes free" messages, and then the setup fails and I have to reboot the system with no OS installed.
My hard drive has two slices, the first is my root slice and its size is 368GB, the second is the swap and its size is 4GB, so I have enough disc space.
FreeBSD 7.2R installs successfully without problems, I know that I can install it and then upgrade to 8R, but I can't do that, I need to install from the dvd.
How can I fix this problem? is it because of the new USB stack? is there a boot parameter to use the old USB stack?
Thanks.
