I have been trying to install FreeBSD on an old 386 I had lying around,
and each time that I try to install from the boot.flp it gives me an error
just after I select proceed.

It starts writing the file systems, then dies after a moment.

it gave me the error message

		Fatal
Exec (/stand/newfs) failed, code=9216

on the <alt-F2> screen it says 

	wtfs: Input/Output error

after this is reboots

Thanks for any help that you can give me
my email address is ahlstn1@medtronic.com 
or nrahlstr@gloria.cord.edu
