First, the Boot floppy disk often hangs a half-dozen times when it comes to Uncompressing kernel... It finally loads the install program using the same floppy and I've tried re-rawriting other floppies with no help. Second, I get a problem that says "panic: page fault syncing disks" which I attribute to the labels portion of install. The newfs is set up as "-b 8192 -f 2048 -u 4096" for all partitions. Does this mean my IDE hard drive is incompatible with this bytes per sector scheme? Also, I haven't seen any specs for what the configuration means. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. ds.
