I'm trying to install NetBSD 1.0 on a 486.
I'm able to EXTRACT misc10, etc10, BUT when
I try to extract base10, it starts to work
but then crashes with a message saying something
like "gunzip found invalid header".
You don't say what kind of drive you're using.
This hasn't happened to me recently. But, I remember in the "olden"
days, when I was installing 386BSD-0.0 on an old MFM hard drive, I was
getting the same thing. Then I would get a new batch of files, and a
different one would be "bad".
Turns out I had a bad spot on my hard drive. I left the "bad" file
where it was on the drive, just renaming it to a different name
(bad01, or something like that) and re-extracted the distribution
files. All of a sudden, things worked like a charm.
I don't know if this is your problem or not, but you could give it a
shot.
