Ok, by downloading the newer 2.0R floppies from freefall, I got FreeBSD
to install off of my WC 2.0R CD. Now, for some reason, whenever I try to
read a floppy disk (or mount one, or...), I get an error. Here is an
example:
nexus# mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (ST0 40<abnrml> ST1 1<no_am> ST2 0 cyl
0 hd 0 sec 1)
mount_msdos: mount: Input/output error
nexus#
This is with a DOS-formatted floppy in the drive.
When I try to install my X server (AcceleratedX from X Inside, Inc.), I
get the following:
nexus# tar -xvzf /dev/rfd0
fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 of 0-19 (ST0 40<abnrml> ST1 1<no_am>
ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 0 sec 1)
tar (child): read error on /dev/rfd0 : Input/output error
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: child status returned 1
nexus#
does anyone have any idea what is wrong? I re-made my kernel from the
srcdist and the whole 9 yards, yet nothing seems to fix the problem. Is
there any hope?
