Hello,
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 9 on my old PC to use it as a small file server. I've chosen FreeBSD because I really like zfs and its snapshot system. The problem is that I cannot get it installed.
I've 3 harddisks in the system. 2x 1TB SATA disks which I'll use for storage. 1x 80GB IDE disk which will be used for the operating system. The problem is that I cannot get FreeBSD installed on the 80GB IDE disk. The error message which is shown during install is the following:
I've googled a lot to find a solution and tried the following things:
- Clear begin and end of disk to remove partition table (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0)
- Clear complete disk with Dariks Boot And Nuke (http://www.dban.org/)
- Remove partition tables with gpart (http://daemon-notes.com/articles/install/part-fs/prepare)
- sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 (http://daemon-notes.com/articles/install/install-zfs/begin)
- I even installed another IDE 40GB disk but it resulted in the same problem.
Any ideas to solve this problem because I'm struggling with it for weeks now and I'am not getting any further...
Thanks in advance! Erwin
