"no root device found" while installing
Hi,
I am trying to install FreeBSD on this: HTML Code: HTML Code:
http://www.aaeon.com/newsletter/boxer/aec6820.html BOIS sees the hard drive no problem. After going through whole setting up process I get to the point when installer wants to start copying files. It comes up with a message asking if I'm sure I want to contunue and I confirm. At this point I get a message: Code: Code:
no root device found - you must lable a partition as / in the lable editor I tried installing other systems and they work just fine, but still prefere FreeBSD. Also this is not my first time installing/using FreeBSD so it's not like I forgot to set labels up etc... Any idea what could be causing that? Thanks, Konrad |

I am currently looking for my 7.3 CD to try it as well. |

As an alternative you could follow the FreeBSD Install Without Sysinstall guide.

Hi,
Thanks for response. I will try the alternative in the evening. An interesting thing may be that I managed to install FreeBSD using custom installation from sysinstall, however I was still not able to boot into the system. Perhaps standard install does something that custom doesn't include by default which is why all files get copied no problem... Konrad |
