Hello,
I have found some time to install 7.0.1 on my parent's machine however,
I couldn't get past even the install with the amd64 version. The issue
is that the installer is unable to copy files to the "prepared" disk and
outputs /stuff/to/be/copied: Seek failed, invalid option.
Thinking that the error may be with my disk, I extracted the necessary
netinstall files to my webserver. The same error resulted which meant
that if I tried, say, my 7.0 i386 disk and that worked, the culprit is
obvious. I am installing the 386 version and all is well...so
far...*knock on wood*.
I also noticed little to no HD LED activity during the "fdisk /dev/ad0x"
part. Furthermore, when I Ctrl+Alt+1 to hit the prompt I saw a TON of
/:filesystem is full which I presume means that the creation of root
failed. Should I also mention that ACPI disabled and Safe mode froze up
when trying to mount root on /dev/md0?
Phew!
