One of the reasons I got into computers, was so I wouldn't have to
hand-write so much :)

Anyway, hope the following helps:

Disk info from boot:

sd2s2b	swap		100MB
sd2s2f	/usr/local	350MB	Y
sd2s2g	/home		1247MB	Y

---------

Message when it all dies:

sysinstall: read Input/Ouput error
panic: going nowhere without my init

I believe that when this message appears, it is trying to write the
partition table to sd2.

Is there any other information I can get to help track this down?

Thanks for all the sleepless nights Justin...
