Hi, I am having a problem installing FreeBSD 2.0 and I was hoping you could lend a hand. I am able to begin the installation process but when I get to the point: unzipping /stand/sysinstall onto hard disk the install then halts and I get the following message which is partially obscured by the message box which pops up in the middle of the screen. T0 80<invld> cyl recal failed S fd0c: hard error re ST1 1<no_am> S T2 0 cyl 53 hd0 sec 13) zcat: stdin: input/output error It appears to be a read error on the floppy drive but I've used 3 different floppies (2 brand-new, 1 fairly new but known good) on multiple attempts and cannot get beyond this point. I got the CD from Walnut Creek and if its just the unzip program which is crashing then I could return it for another. Also, if there is a manual work-around then I'd like to here about it. My hardware config: 486/66 Gateway 2000 16MB, 2 IDE drives (installing on drive 0) NEC cd-rom on a Soundblaster-16 SCSI interface no NIC Thank-you in advance, Joseph W.
