Hello all! I was trying to install FreeBSD 4.x-STABLE yesterday but I got the following error when I tried to boot up my kern.flp: Disk error 0x4 (lba=0x10) At first I thought I just had a bad floppy so I made another image on another floppy but I had same error. Then I tried 4 other floppies and I still got the same problem. Plus I also tried these same floppies in a Win2k box and they seemed alright. Then I thought it might have been my actual floppy disk drive so I replaced that with one that I knew that worked for sure. Same problem. Then I thought it could have been the image itself, so I made an image of a previous STABLE image but same problem. Then I tried the 4.2-RELEASE image. Same thing. I'm stumped. Fortunately I had a previous install on this box. I tried to mount the floppy drive and I got this error: <sunnie> ~# mount /dev/fd0a /mnt mount: Input/output error and my /var/messages had this: Jan 14 18:43:02 sunnie /kernel: fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 18 of 16-31 (ST0 44<abnrml,top_head> ST1 4<sec_not_fnd> ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 1 sec 1) Any ideas?
