While installing bindist using Tiny 386BSD 0.1, I got a couple SCSI
sense errors, then the message saying bin01.49 is corrupted (while 
running "extract bin01").  I have a SCSI drive, which my Adaptec 1542
BIOS (verify) and MS-DOG say is free of defects, so naturally I was
suprised.  Could it be that:

  1) The floppy driver read in a bad file, but only the SCSI driver
     checks the CRC when the file is read back?  Installing bin01
     worked for me a few times, then failed twice consecutively with
     the above error (I am trying to get clean bin01/src01 for putting
     in patch 0.2.2).

  2) 386BSD SCSI driver sees HD errors that the BIOS verify and MS-DOG
     don't?

Any comments appreciated...
