Hi,
 
Here's my problem. The install program starts messing with my
hard drive (initializes it and sets up the root partition, I think).
It labels the HD ok and then (the filesystem floppy for FreeBSD 1.1.5Ris
in the drive):
 
 
Super-block ...

I've recopied/downloaded the disk images (but never used those CHKSUMs).
I doubt the problem is with a corrupt image (since the same thing keeps
happening over and over).
 
 
Anyone know the solution to my problem?
 
        Thanks,
        Sherman
