After unpacking the binary distribution of 386bsd 0.1 and applying patchkit 
0.2.1 and some recovery work, I can't use "mread" to read in the source distri-
bution. To be precise, I give the commands and their results:

mread b: *.* .    	=> "mread: no match" and no access to the floppy at all

mread *.* b: .		=> something with hardware error on cylinder 0 and 1

But the floppy is ok using tar-commands.

Have I lost some important files for mtools? "disktab" seems ok, too.
Any ideas? Thanks for all answers.
Georg
