Here is the specs. PM6100 running system 7.5.1 NetBSD 1.0 Quantum Lp-270 Disk Mannager 4 gives errors like Try different formatting options uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh that was brilliant. MKFS does things like 5 retries at the beginning of formatting a file system and thengives errors like "120 sectors at end of block not allocated." When subsequently running the installer, it says things like "error 5, unable to mount root." It additionally gives an error 22. I believe 5 is the scsi error. Can someone please help? -- Bryan Smart Email: bsmart@cris.com
