>Originator:     David Hed
>Release:        4.0 Stable
>Organization:
StuBoNet support group
>Environment:
generic kernel, i386, 4.0-release
>Description:
Did a minimum install of version 4.0 stable, added some basic ports like pine, bash & mc, apache (php), linux_base-6.1.

When trying to use XF86Setup i realise that i havent included them and go into /stand/install to add them. 

Download starts normally but when it reaches 24060bytes [every distro i try] it just stops and reports.

------
"Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 24060 bytes")
------

The disks arent full and the connection is stable. I ran fsck to check, tried the same thing in single user mode. But no luck...   Ports work fine when installing and i find it very strange that adding distributions do not.

No other problems on the system, even tried switching NICs (3Com)


Otherwise i find FreeBSD the best Operating System availble for servers =)


>How-To-Repeat:
Same problem with Upgrading the system or using /stand/sysinstall after reboot.
>Fix:
reinstall...  ?  :-C   i dont experience the same problem on the box next to it (same installation procedure)

 I've already installed on my PC FreeBSD 2.7, 3.0 and 3.4 successfully wit=

 any troubles.
 
 Now I've recycled an old Pentium 133 with Triton chipset and I'd the same=
  kind of error you had described here.
 
 Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1024)
 
 I've bootstrap from boot floppy and mfsroot floppy of version 3.4, I've p=
 artitioned the HD and labeled it properly (/ swap /var &
 /usr), but during the transfer from CDROM to HD it gives randomly this er=
 ror (after few chunks).
 
 The CDROM is the same from which I've already installed the same operatin=
 g system on my running FreeBSD.
 
 I=ECve repeated the installation more times with the same bad results.
 
 
 I was fear that there was something wrong in the bios setting, so I've tr=
 ied to install on the same troubling PC a Debian Linux
 distribution and everything goes right. I've also bootstraped and tested =
 it.
