I just posted a question and realized I gave none of the system stats. 
They are as follows:

	* INTEL 486DX/2 66MHz based EISA motherboard w/ 256k 20ns cache
	* 16MB RAM (70ns)
	* DTC 2290 EISA IDE controller
	* Maxtor LXT-535A 520M Hard Drive IDE (FreeBSD gets 204M)
	* Teac Dual Media floppy
	* Mitsumi CD-ROM
	* Sound Blaster Pro 2
	* ATI Graphics Ultra Pro 2M EISA SVGA card (Mach 32 accelerator chip)
	* PC Logic 14.4Kbps V.42bis internal modem (sio2 irq5)
	* sio0, sio1, parallel, and game ports
	* Colorado Jumbo 250
	* Logitech Radio MouseMan

I think that's anything that absolutely anyone could care about as far
as sysconfig goes.  There's a lot of potential for conflicts, etc., so
if anyone can tell me what they may be or help out I'd appreciate it. 
Any help on what/where the drivers are for SBP2, QIC-80 tape
drive, and Mitsumi CD-ROM are would be appreciated to (I've been told
all of these exist already...is that true?)  Also, it seems rediculous,
but I can't seem to find any instructions on how to use cksum to check
my distribution files.  Is there a Norton Disk Doctor type of util for
UNIX that will help me find bad sectors on my IDE drive?  386BSD
installed perfectly too if that tells anyone anything...I had it running
for over 2 weeks.  Again, any and all help is appreciated.
