Summary: Get trap type 19 & wdc0: extra interrupt

I bit the bullet and tried to install NetBSD 0.9 this evening on my
extra 200 Mbyte disk. The first time through (there have been many ;-)
everything seemd to be going just fine. I got to the point where I was
starting to extract the OS from a NFS mount. I had been getting 
"wdc0: extra interrupt" messages every once in a while, but I was just
ignoring them. Then the power dies. I knew it was going too easily.

So, when the system comes up I try to clean up the file systems with
fsck but that doesn't seem to be working, so I figure I'll restart
from scratch. Ya, right.

Ok, so I go ahead and boot off the kernel disk again and try to
reinstall everything. But immediatly after the prompt asking if I
really want to write to the disk (the point of no return) the system
panics. It panics BEFORE I respond, the panic message is immediatly
after the question.

Here is about what it says: trape type 10 code 0 eip fe000ff3 cs 8

There is more, but I've already done this 4 times to get that much of
the message because the system automatically reboots.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
