After making 20 attempts to install FreeBSD v2.0 on
a compaq 386 box with an ESDI ultrastor 12 controller and
a miniscribe 313MB disk, I am just about it give up (I emailed
the problem to 'questions@freebsd.org' several days
ago but have received no response.)

The basic problem is a 9216 error (input/output) error
received during the copying of code from the install 
diskette to the ESDI hard drive after successful disk
setup.  

Originally I allocated the entire 300MB disk to Freebsd
but go nowhere; then I reduced the allocation to 

	root 18MB    swap  32MB  and  usr 50MB

which got me a bit further but ended in the same error
message.  I've tried the floppies off the Freebsd CDROM
as well as the latest (March95) snapshot of the floppies
with the same result.

You guys have any ideas?  I hate to pitch this machine.

Thanks in advance...I really enjoy using FreeBSD in its
earlier releases (they worked on this machine).
