1. What is your hardware?
2. Did you tried to install from ftp or CD/DVD?

How large did you make your root partition? Did you set any particular newfs flags or enable softupdates?

I'm not sure 80 Mb is enough.

Myron, just choose the auto-defaults next time; 80Mb won't be enough now or later.

ok dutch i try to re setup again

thanks for info

I just checked the size of the GENERIC kernel on 7.2-RELEASE-p3 i386. It's 126 MB (not enough disk space). Most of the time, I use 1 GB for the root partition.

512 MB is recommended. But 256 will be enough, even if you want to make a custom kernel. You can remove the *.symbols of the backup kernel (~88/123 MB in 7.2) and you'll have enough space for the new kernel.
