I've had this sort of thing happen on MFM, RLL, and a SCSI drive as well. Its as though there was a poision.pill out on the disk left by the previous installs... but that doesn't seem to be it either in that once this has started to happen, even re-doing the low level format, formatting the RLL to MFM and then back to RLL and so on doesn't clear the problem. I gave up when a disk died and I got one that was big.enough for the job. Had that not happened, I probably would have started taking a hard look for problems with the install floppies... but those same floppies worked find for building filesystems on drives that had not taken this 'hit.' .......................................................
