I have been attempting to install FreeBSD 2.1 onto a Dell Omniplex 4100
without much success!

I have built and booted the 'makeflp.bat' floppy, and the installation
recognises my configuration.
Following 'novice' installation which does
a create a 1024Mb partition sd1s3
a label which produces sd1s3a, sd1s3b, sd1s3e & sd1s3f
no boot mgr option
a selection of a developer distribution 
a medium of CD-ROM
the commit gives the following messages 

	Sysinstall: read : Input/Output error
	panic: Going nowhere without my init.
	Synching disks ... done
	Autoboot in 15 sec - press any key to abort
	--> Press a key to continue to reboot <--

ALT-f2 has the following messages

	ncr?: scatter/gather failed (residue 1606564352)
	sd1: oops not queued
	bidone buffer already done
	init died (signal 0, exit 1)

My configuration is:
DX4-100 16 Mb
wt0 is recognised (@300/irq5/drq1) (Everex QIC-36)
NCR 53c810, PCI v2.0
SCSI 00 DEC DSP 3107LS (1Gb) 
	(single FAT16 partition)
SCSI 01 NEC CD-ROM: 500
SCSI 02 SEAGATE ST15230N (4Gb)
	(>2Gb DOSext partition, 512Mb OS/2 partition, >1.5Gb free)

Any suggestions would be welcomed.
