- I have been having trouble installing 386bsd on my PC. I can install
- all of the bin distribution from 3.5" disks, until bin01.47, which mread
- can only read 98k of. After that, I can only read 98k of each
- additional file. I gives me an fwrite error.
-
- Machine config:
- Mistubishi 386/16 with 387
- 6 megs of memory
- 70 meg CDC Wren II drive
- WD MFM controller
- EGA
-
- I also have a 20 meg st-225 that I have been using for MS-DOS. When I
- ran the install script I told it to install on the entire HD, not into a
- partition. I also tried installing it on a partition and got
- input/output errors (don't remember the exact error code).

- thanks,
- alex
