freenas compact flash installation

Asked by HelpdeskJBC in FreeBSD, Hard Drives & Storage, Miscellaneous Hardware, Storage

Tags: freenas, CF, Compact Flash, IDE, DMA

Hy
I'm using the latest version of freenas (0.7RC1) and i try to install it on a CF Card with CF / IDE adapter

first i've downloaded the image from the homepage, than i have used the software physical disk writer to extract the image directly to the cf card (with a usb card reader)
after that i put the cf card in the ide andapter and startup the test pc
After starting i've got a lot of dma timeout errors... strange

so i tried it with a bootable cd... after the startup from the cd (no problem)
I take the update /install menue (9) and than the point (1) install embedded release on flash drive

after choosing the cdrom drive acd0, the programm detected more than one CF disc
da0 (desc: Generic Card Reader CF 3.0C)
da1 (desc: Generic Card Reader MS 3.0C)
da2 (desc: Generic Card ReaderMMC/SD 3.0C)
da3 (desc: Generic Card Reader DM 3.0C)

I take the first one (but it doesn't matter every disc came to the same errors)  

gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
Error: Failed to dd image on /dev/da0

so i tried the full installation menue point (3)
here comes the error message:

diskinfo: da0: Device not configured
Error: Not enough space available on disk
Error: Failed to create partitions

please help
thanks
