I've been unable to install 2.0.5-REL on a machine that ran the latest SNAP without a problem and runs DOS without any disk-related problems I keep getting an error code of 10<no_id> on some writes when making the root fs. The disk is a Micropolis 1558 ESDI ( 1224 cyl 15 hds 35 sect.) connected to a WD1007 controller which remaps it to 814 cyl 15 hds 51 sect which is also the geometry DOS uses. When I run FreeBSD fdisk from the boot floppy ( I have tried the original and the one from UPDATES), it keep showing the geometry as 840 cyls which is wrong, even if I manually enter 814 cyls. When I enable badblock detection it detect a bad block every 35 blocks which looks very suspicious to me. Even after a low level format it keeps finding bad blocks every 35 blocks. Any suggestions ??? TIA Paul
