Sadly, your Geometry setting suggestion did not work (the Geometry was already
correct).  Upon FreeBSD's attempt to install itself I once again received the
following error and debug report:

        EXEC(/stand/newfs) Failed, code=5888

        Debug <Loading boot code from /stand/sdboot>
        Debug <Loading boot code from /stand/bootsd>
        Debug <seeking to byte 57576960>
        Debug <10>
        Debug <10>
        Progress <newfs/dev/rsd0a>
        With a block size of 32768 minimum bytes per inode is 5990
        Minimum bytes per inode is 5990
        With 16065 sectors per cylinder, minimum cylinders per group is 64
        This requires the block size to be changed from 8192 to 37768
                and the fragment size to be changed from 1024 to 4096

I'm convinced that the problem could be easily rectified if I could just
change the block and fragmentation sizes to the reccomended sizes; but how?
Your next best suggestion would be appreciated.

Also, will programs configured to run in SCO Unix 3.2.x run in FreeBSD? I
believe that I read in the documentation that they would but verbose
confirmation would be appreciated as both my UPS and digiboard are SCO but
not BSD compliant.

Thank you for your help.
