also problem with network configuration

R

Hello,

I see also the network settings screen. But what do I have to input if the network is a DHCP network with a DHCP server? I'm talking about version 8 now.

hello,

URL is not right. I get a 'page not found' error message. I need the answer so I can install version 8 by ftp install.

In short, before network configuration form, the installer asks:

Code: 
                             User Confirmation Requested 
        Do you want to try DHCP configuration of the interface?

                              Yes   [ No ]

So, choose yes.
 
Hello,

Thanks I found it. But I stumble on another problem. With the partition I choose 'use the whole disk'. And with the next screen 'auto defaults'. But on installing I get the following error message:

Code: 
Unable to find device node for /dev/ad2d1b  in /dev
The creation of filesystems will be aborted.

Roelof
 
Really /dev/ad2d1b?

Do you press "Q" to exit from "Fdisk Partition Editor" and "FreeBSD Disklabel Editor" screens?

No time to find them, but possible fixes for that problem appear in other threads. Search for "node" or "filesystems" or something in the forums...
 
Hello,

Nobody who can help me.
I also see a message that the geometry of the disk where I want to install is not right.

Roelof
 
You can fdisk/bsdlabel/newfs without sysinstall if the search I mentioned above does not find something to fix it. Regretfully, no time to search for guides (there are numerous threads/postings/mail-list threads etc explaining how). Then, post-newfs configuration/install can be done in sysinstall.
 
1. Do not choose 'Write' after entering FreeBSD partitions, just 'Quit'. The installer will write them automatically.

2. Disk geometry warnings can be ignored. If you are dual-booting, they should be ignored. If FreeBSD is the only thing on the disk, you can choose "No" (in answer to "Do you want to keep this geometry?", meaning change it...).
