When I try to install FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE onto the machine, the installer program issues following messages: Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 240640 bytes) 9385984 bytes read from bin dist, chunk 40 of 133 @ 120.6KB/sec id 34 (cpio), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Fix: Give up installing 4.2-RELEASE and re-install 3.4-RELEASE. How-To-Repeat: 1. Add a file /boot.cofig where parameter "-h" is written to kern.flp. (The machine has neither a console nor a keyboard. It has only a serial terminal.) 2. Start the installation. 3. Custom. 4. Partition. D C and answer the default values. Q 5. Label. C - 477M - FS - / C - 67266 - Swap W and answer Yes. Q 6. Distributions. Custom - select bin. 7. Media. FTP - URL ftp://192.168.0.3/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386 ed0 Configure ed0 8. Commit. (I also tried the installation from floppies, which showed similar results: Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 240640 bytes) 9623552 bytes read from bin dist, chunk 40 of 133 @ 7.8KB/sec )
