That sounds more like a disk writing failure. I've gotten a few
coasters in my years that didn't do things quite right.

Did you get your FreeBSD installation going? It looks lke there was a
lot of enthusiastic help that should have gotten you going. The thread
seems to end on 19 April 2002 at 4:58 PM CDT without another reply from
you. Perhaps the archive is truncated but I did not see any untoward
attitude displayed by the folks on the freebsd-questions list.
Here is another idea for you to get some experience. Try doing an
installation in Virtual Box. You can try it as many times as you want.
Just remove the virtual machine from the Virtual Box GUI, saying yes to
remove all files and then start over taking another crack at things.
