It's like an HDD error. Happens when copying doc to HDD. I already 
installed without doc distribution, but I got the same error. FreeBSD 
6.2/6.3 installs ok. Isn't media problem, I already tryed to install via 
FTP, and get the same error. Here is one (bad quality) picture:

I don't think it's simple an hdd error, cause I can install other 
FreeBSD versions, and when I run the Dell Diagnostics Software, 
everything is ok.
