I am trying to install Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.1.5 in a generic 586.
It appears that the installation program can't write to BSD formatted
disks or partitions.  The changes in configuration don't appear to be 
written to the boot floppy.  The boot manager which is written to a DOS
partition works correctly.  When the installation program tries to write
to the BSD partition, it fails in the first block and lock the system.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?  Do you have any suggesttions
to remedy the problem?

Many thanks in advance.
