I'm trying to install NetBSD-1.0 from floppies onto an IBM ThinkPad 720
and keep running into a problem with the inst-10.fs floppy.  Shortly
after I insert it, I get a hard read error from fd0, the floppy access
light goes on solid and the install hangs.  Has anyone else seen this
behavior?

Thanks,
