Has anyone had the following problem, or can anyone point me at the
likely cause:

I have installed 386bsd on 4 identical 486's with 120MB IDE hard drives, and 
patchkit 0.2.3. Whether I use /sbin/shutdown, /usr/distbin/shutdown or reboot,
fsck always finds the summary information bad after rebooting; the system
is rebooted and the next time fsck finds no errors.

One thing that is interesting is that the wdgetctlr fails in i386/isa/wd.c,
and the comment says that this happens with old ST506 controllers. These
are brand new IDE controllers, but I am not sure what make they are.
