Thanks, Jordan!
I tried to do what you said, unfortunately it didn't help.
I even reinstalled all the BSD from the scratch - and this time I didin't
play with .profile, but the result was the same!
init FATAL error : Console : interrupted system call
and this message is repeating endlessly, untill I restart comuter.
Observation :
When installing the cpio diskette there was a warning - "skippink chunk
of junk" or somrthing very similar.
When I was doing extract there was another warning/error
" Bad CRC .....".
I think, it is a last reservation, may be the CD ROM is bad?
