Subject:   Installation aborts with write failure on transfer

Hello.

I am trying to install FreeBSD on a new Pentium PC running Windows '95. 
I copied the contents of the bin and floppies directories (using FTP) to
c:\bsd\bin and c:\bsd\floppies, created a new partition, and booted the
boot.flp floppy.

I got through the novice installation script, but the last step aborts
with the message: write failure on transfer!  Before this, the status
line indicates that a bit more than 100KB had been read from element 1
of 59.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
