I am resending this message in hopes of eliciting a response so I can continue
with the install.  Thanks for your help.

Subject: FreeBSD install problems
Content-Length: 1101

I am trying to install FreeBSD on a PC that has had the disk parititioned
using FIPS.  It is a 520M disk with 201M for DOS and 319 for FreeBSD.  I
setup a swap space of 32M, a root file system of 20M and the remaining 
space for usr.

The install went smoothly however when I reboot, I get the following error 
messages (not exactly verbatim, but pretty close):

vnode_pager_input: I/O read error

vm_fault: pager_input  wdoa: hard error reading fsbn 14600 of 14600-14655
          wd0 bn 14600; cn 14 tn 7 sn 47
          wd0: status 59 <seekdone, drq, err> error 40 <uncorr>

Is it possible that I have a bad sector in the middle of the swap space
that is causing this problem?  I did a scandisk before partitioning the
disk and did find some bad blocks that were marked bad.  These marked
blocks are probably not seen by FreeBSD.  I'm just guessing here after
some converstation with some engineers here who have installed FreeBsD
on their computers.

Thanks for any and all help; it is appreciated.
