This is from the ancient mkfs.c (which actually violates the BSD style
guide... exit points should not be `numbered').
/*
* write a block to the file system
*/
wtfs(bno, size, bf)
daddr_t bno;
int size;
char *bf;
{
...
n = write(fso, bf, size);
if (n != size) {
printf("write error: %ld\n", bno);
perror("wtfs");
exit(36);
}
}
So it looks the `write' system call fails for some reason. I guess
it's an unrecovered hardware write error. Maybe the second screen
(Alt-F2) will tell you more.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
