I have a WD1007A-WA2 ESDI controller and a Micropolis
380 Mbyte disk which I'm trying to install FreeBSD-2.10 on.

But I'm having big trouble with this and I think it's the
old problem with sector translation and spare sector mapping.
I have been able to run older versions of FreeBSD,NetBSD on this
configuration but I can't get this new version to work.

Any hints,tips etc. on how to get this thing working
is most welcome.
