    *UPDATE* With DEBUG ON

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.9-RC4 on a amd k6/2 333mhz with a seagate 10gb hdd
    and 64M ram.
    When I partition my hdd and it 'should' start formatting the disk, I get these errors:

    "Unable to swap to /dev/ad0s1b: invalid arg"
    "Unable to make new root fs on /dev/ad0s1a!"
    "Couldn't make fs properly. Aborting"

    while i get this in my debug screen :

    ad0s1: cannot find label (disk label corrupted)
    DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for rootfs
    DEBUG: found rootdev at ad0s1a!
    DEBUG: found vardev at ad0s1e!
    DEBUG: found tmpdev at ad0s1f!
    DEBUG: found usrdev at ad0s1g!
    DEBUG: Scanning ad0 for swap partition
    DEBUG: Found swapdev at ad0s1b!

    ad0s4: slice extends beyond end of disk, truncating. ...
    ad0: cannot find label disk label corrupted)
    ad0s1: cannot find label disk label corrupted)
    DEBUG: Notify: Making a new root fs on /dev/ad0s1a
    DEBUG: Execute command 'newfs -b 16384 -f 2048 /dev/ad0s1a'
    ...
    newfs: /dev/ad0s1a invalid argument
    DEBUG: Command 'newfs -b 16384 -f 2048 /dev/ad0s1a' returned status of 1

    I get the same with FreeBSD 4.6-R and 4.8-R, but in OpenBSD 3.3 and FreeBSD 5.1 it
    works flawless... I don't understand, isn't there a way for me to install FreeBSD 4.x ???

    Thanks
    Greetings, Wouter
