Wetmore) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: hard drive problems Message-ID: <MeZbJl_00VBCA270lG@andrew.cmu.edu> Date: 22 Aug 92 09:12:17 GMT Organization: Freshman, Math/Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 19 I have been having trouble installing 386bsd on my PC. I can install all of the bin distribution from 3.5" disks, until bin01.47, which mread can only read 98k of. After that, I can only read 98k of each additional file. I gives me an fwrite error. Machine config: Mistubishi 386/16 with 387 6 megs of memory 70 meg CDC Wren II drive WD MFM controller EGA I also have a 20 meg st-225 that I have been using for MS-DOS. When I ran the install script I told it to install on the entire HD, not into a partition. I also tried installing it on a partition and got input/output errors (don't remember the exact error code). thanks, alex
