Julian,
thanks a lot for the quick answer. I got the information you asked:
IDE disk 0 WD 814Mb cyls: 1654 - heads: 16 - sec: 63 - WPcom: 65535
IDE disk 1 WD 203Mb cyls: 989 - heads: 12 - sec: 35 - WPcom: 65535
Both disks are on the primary IDE (disk0 is Master disk1 is Slave).
I did one more experiment: I copied the FREEBSD DOS files on a PRIMARY
DOS partition allocated at the bottom (112Mb) of DISK1 (I used DISK0 before)
then tried installing again from this media, but got exactly the same
problem. I could not see the message you refer to in your note: first
indication of the problem is gunzip complaints about wrong checksum when
accessing bin/aa distribution file, then all the others follow....
Sounds like I should borrow a SCSI CD-rom to attach to my ADAPTEC 1510!
Thanks a lot for your help. Pls keep me informed on your investigations.
Good bye. Marcello.
