Couldn't make fs properly. Installation aborted

C

chefarov

I am trying to install(custom) Freebsd-7.2 at a laptop which hosts Vista, and ubuntu already. I made 8GB space from a primary partition, and started the installation.
Step 3: I create a freebsd partition. Click Q and I get
Code: 
"chunk ad4s1 does not start on a track boundary."
"chunk ad4s2 << << << ... "
"chunk ad4s3 << << << ... "
ad4s1 is labeled us unknown(Is the recovery partition I think)
ad4s2 is windows C:
ad4s3 is windows E:
and after that comes the freebsd. I click ok ang go to ->
step4: I create /, swap, /usr, /var with appropriate space.
In the final step I get : "Unable to find device node for /dev/X in dev! The creation of filesystems will be aborted" -> ok ->
"Couldn't make fs properly, aborting..." -> ok -> "The commit operation completed with no errors. Not updating /etc files"
and I get back to menu.

.. When I click step 3: I get the usual message about the disk geometry.
Any ideas?
 
Pentium 4
_8 daily build, iso install to sata on Promise controller
Same error. I've several notes written down that the
issue *maybe* has been fixed during sept. in either _8 OR _9.
Those notes are general impressions. Could be something else,
like a NIC that needs to be inactivated in the bios first, or
some other hard-to-pin-down issue...
