Failed install of FreeBSD

[Cybite]

I have recieved this message on my last three attempts at installing
FreeBSD from a dos partion.

gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data -- format violated
/stand/cpio : premature end of file
DEBUG: Dummy [default] close called for wd0s1 with fd of 6
DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1

Can some body please help me?

Thanks in advance.

PS: It will not recoginze my IDE cdrom.

One of the bin files is corrupted. Make sure they're all the same size and
re-pull any that aren't. (The last one will be the exception)

Are you using ATAPI.FLP for your boot floppy image instead of boot.flp?
