     Dear,
     
     I downloaded all files from 
     ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/bin, but I can't 
     install it both from floppy disk or DOS partition. Every time when the 
     BSD installer retreives infomation from file bin.ai, it shows an error 
     message: Write failure in transfer(wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes). I 
     have tried almost all the different brend motherboards in our 
     lab(440LX shipset), the same problem. 
     
     So I checked in detail about the file "bin.inf" and found there is 
     somthing abnormal. All the records, except the first one, in file 
     bin.inf are with the format of "cksum.?? = 3314456633 240640", where 
     the 240640 represents the actural file size of bin.??. But when you go 
     to the record of "cksum.ai = ******** 240640", the actural size of 
     bin.ai is not 240640 but 239647. I wonder whether the error is caused 
     by this. I am the beginner about FreeBSD. So forgive me if it is not 
     that case.
     
     Thanks very much if you can give me a hand.
     Frank Wang
