OK, I got rid of the checksum errors.  I was trying to install off of a 
mounted FreeBSD partition (UFS) and that's where I got the errors, so I 
ftp'd the whole directory to a local SUN and then installed using manual ftp 
from the SUN.  I lost the checksum errors, but now during extraction (and 
other random points during install such as checksum or even booting) I get 
an error:

ahc0: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timed out
(repeated various times)
 and
/:bad dir ino 4 at offset 0: mangled entry
panic:bad dir


Any clues?  I really want to use this SCSI controller... it hums under NT.

Thanks

Ahhhhh..

Well, this problem should hopefully go away soon as I go to libftp!

Please mail questions like this to (not surprisingly) questions@FreeBSD.org.

 -current is for people who are already running -current and need to
stay up to date on issues having to do with it.  You're not quite in
that category! :-)

What happens when you try to fetch the bindist over manually, running
to do_cksum.sh script yourself?  Hit ESC twice to get a shell and try
this by hand.
