I have two ide drives wd0=1.2gig seagate wd1=110m miniscribe. I have these partitioned as wd0: 200m for /usr ; wd1: 32m /, 32m swap, remainer /var. After installation, during the boot i get: WD1: Interrupt Timeout wd1: status 58(seekdone,drg) error 80 wd1: wdunwedge failed wd1: status FF error 1 wd1: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command FSBN 48 of 48-55 (wd1 bn 102448,cn418,tn1 sn3) When I did the BSD fdisk, I turned on "bad block scan" to find the bad blocks on this dick (I know that there are some). Is there something else I can do ???? Thanks for you help .... Ralph Thomas
