   the first bug is the hard disk lite hang thing.

This has not yet been fixed in either system.

   The second is that sometimes, (about once a week), i get a hard
   write error on my ide drive (wd0). and then it just crashes flat
   out.

I'm not sure about the details of this, but I note from the RCS logs:

revision 1.20
date: 1993/07/05 04:44:48;  author: deraadt;  state: Exp;  lines: +3 -2
added a missing {/} pair that barsoom seems to have taken out, but
which the standard 386bsd 0.1 driver did have. This is for a piece of
code in the bad block handling. found/fixed by hpeyerl.

This would be in 0.9.
