I am trying to install 386bsd 0.1. I NEED to use bad144 but
whenever I do a "bad144 wd0 0" I get :
"label: invalid argument"
"can't write disklabel to enable bad secctor handling by the drive"
so..how do I get this to work?
also..I have downloaded the BIN01 files and found 5 to be corrupted.
i then downloaded those 5 again and find 2 to be corrupted (extract
says this)
I have since downloaded BIN01.08 and BIN01.14 5 times now from 5 different
sites and the files are identical and extract keeps telling me they
are corrupt! now is this a bug in extract? or what? and is there
a way to override the auto abort with a corrupt file so I can install this
stuff?
Thank you
