Hi, when I run 'sysinstall' both from the root disk and from /stand I'll
sometimes (most times) get the following:

fdc0: output ready timeout
fdc0: input ready timeout
...
I'll get bunches of these though nothing 'bad' seems to happen. Also I
have the same problem I had with 2.0.5's 'sysinstall' in that my qic-80 tape
is not always recognized and same deal with my mitsumi. 

So far as the serial I/O goes I can't set the dte/dce rate any higher 
than 19200. When I do tip or cu will eventually crap out and I'll have lots
of sio overflow messages. Wish I could be more precise as to the exact 
message. Can check though.

Thanks,

Chris
