I'm trying to install 4.7-Release from CDROM. 
BootMgr is installed and works to boot Win98.
The FreeBSD partition seems to get formated ok.
But when the "/bin" files are copied:  "Write failure on transfer!" 

Motherboard: ASUS A7V
Win95-98 Promise Ultra100 IDE controller PDC20265
Primary master: Maxor 5T030H3 (1024/255/63 -- LBA 30735MB)
Primary slave: None
Secondary master: ATAPI CDROM
Secondary slave: Samsung WA32162A (523/128/63 --LBA 2160MB)

Eliminating the seven driver conflicts made no difference.
(The motherboard has no ISA slots, is this necessary?)

Correcting the disk geometry, to agree with tools/pfdisk.exe
 made no difference.

Installing to the secondary disk made no difference.

Should I replace my disk drive with a frog?
