Hi, 386bsd hackers!
I have some strange troubles with this system:

Problem description:
Can't install 386BSD into 0xa5 partition, but installation on whole
disk is sucessfull.
This bug is independent of partition size and order.

'install' diagnostics:
"High level... disk storage:"
Disk parameters and partition size are correct.
After "super-block backups ..." and its numbers 'install' says:
newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): No such process
newfs: /dev/rwd0a: can't rewrite disk label

Hardware:
ST-1239A (IDE) with _real_ CMOS configuration, i.e. 1272 x 9 x 36

Thanx in advance for any helps and hints.
