After making 20 attempts to install FreeBSD v2.0 on a compaq 386 box with an ESDI ultrastor 12 controller and a miniscribe 313MB disk, I am just about it give up (I emailed the problem to 'questions@freebsd.org' several days ago but have received no response.) The basic problem is a 9216 error (input/output) error received during the copying of code from the install diskette to the ESDI hard drive after successful disk setup. Originally I allocated the entire 300MB disk to Freebsd but go nowhere; then I reduced the allocation to root 18MB swap 32MB and usr 50MB which got me a bit further but ended in the same error message. I've tried the floppies off the Freebsd CDROM as well as the latest (March95) snapshot of the floppies with the same result. You guys have any ideas? I hate to pitch this machine. Thanks in advance...I really enjoy using FreeBSD in its earlier releases (they worked on this machine).
