I'm getting checksum failures almost immediately when starting the install
of FreeBSD 2.1.5 with a DOS volume as the source.

Thus far:  I ftp'd the contents of bin from ftp.freebsd.org's 2.1.5
hieararchy and put them in /FREEBSD/BIN on C:.  I then built the
installation disk from the .flp file.  Yes, I used binary transfer -- the
only oddity I ran into was the presence of the non- ISO9660 file names
(which I renamed as CHECKSUM.MD5 and BIN.MTR).

I'm running a 486/66 with 32mb RAM, a TekRam 8.5mb cached VLB IDE
controller, an ATI Graphics Pro Turbo (MACH64 chip) with 4mb, a
SoundBlaster AWE32 (with obligatory mitsumi CD-ROM) and an SIIG SCSI card. 
My two hard drives are on the IDE (I'm installing to the second -- 450mb...
the first is a 1gig running Win95) and a Zip sits on the SCSI drive.


Thanks --
