Im getting problems installing BSD 961014... I've downloaded the distribution TWICE.. (phew..) and i tried installing it on my FIPS partition after recieving the error message I decided to get another H.D and try it again.. but it still didnt work.. I already checked that the dist. were in BINARY mode when I x-fered them.. I also had them placed on Floppies just in case they work.. so far I still have no luck.. I have als tried to change Drive geometries.. between actual settings and LBA (trsnalation BIOS) for H.D settings in BSD and BIOS.. What I have NOTICED though is that Linux installs prefectly fine.. as a last resort I tried check (with the ALT-F2) to check out the message.. it says mount /DOS .. blah blah.. and it looks for the distributions.. it seems to skip over the bin.aa bin.ab .. then stops and reports and error with bin.ac, so i try it again and this time it tells me that I have a write -1 byte error.. when Im half when done with the Bin distributions..(so theres nothing wrong with bin.ac) .. but theres also another error message.. shows something like multiple sector... error???? not sure what it means nor what its trying to tell me.. any help?...thanks
