I am attempting to install 2.0R on a HP Vectra. Fdisk, disklabel, newfs etc proceeded ok. While copying the kernel over, I get the following all over sysinstall's screen: recal failed ST0 80 cyl fd0c: hard error re ap_hard> ST1 1 ST2 0 cyl zcat: stdin: input/output error Sysinstall carries on and prompts to reboot from the h/d. Upon reboot, I get the following panic: exec /stand/sysinstall: error 8 init: not found panic: no init Does the error mean I have a dirty floppy drive, a broken floppy drive, or something else? I have used the same diskettes to install on another machine, and that one is working great. TIA. Cheers. - PS -- Ng Pheng Siong * lsys@np.ac.sg * ngps@np.ac.sg Computer Centre, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore
