Hello.

I have a set of CDs from Walnut Creek - FreeBSD 2.1.5.  My system is an
Intel P166 w/ 32MB of RAM.  I have a NCR53C810 SCSI controller (Asus
SC200).  540MB quantum SCSI id 0, 2.0GB Micropolis id 1, Toshiba 12x cdrom
id 2, and a Zip drive id 4.  Number Nine GXE64Pro (S3 964) 4MB VRAM PCI
video card, and a DEC21041 network card.  The NCR is on IRQ 10, the DEC is
on 11.  BSD won't install...  It says that it can't mount /mnt/usr - I
switch over to virtual console 2 and it looks like the NCR is getting data
errors.  The setup works well under Linux.  Any suggestions?
