I'm trying to install FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on my IBM ThinkPad 750c, but
everytime I boot the kernel floppy, I get a sevtor read error on 0:0:10

anyone know how to fix this? I tried creating the install floppy on the
2.88 drive, but that didn't work either...

The bus for the system is (according to diags) AT, not MCA, so I really
don't see what the problem is if it's not the 2.88 drive.

Help would be greatly appreciated...
