PROBLEM:

Tring to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 from cdrom to harddisk. At a point during the data
transfer I start getting errors. It all goes well until it gets to downloading 

/sbin/disklabel   ----   then I get the following errors:

/stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error
atapi0.1: no cmd drq
/stand/cpio: warning: skipped 65536 bytes of junk
gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
DEBUG: switching back to VTY1
/stand/cpio: premature end of file



---------------------------------------------------

System:

	US. Logic PCI Motherboard w/Pentium Processor 120 mhz
	Primary HD 504 megabytes -- MSDOS only.
	Secondary HD 2.1 Gigabytes -- FreeBSD partition only.
	IDE CDROM drive NEC MultiSpin 8V.
	iomega Ditto tape drive with Ditto interface board.
	1.44 meg floppy drive.
	32meg ram.

-----------------------------------------------------

System runs well under DOS with out errors. I have tried this with DOS partition on
the small drive and a 450 meg DOS partition on the large drive. I have also tried
a DOS partition on the small drive and FreeBSD partition on the large drive with
the same errors resulting in both cases.

-----------------------------------------------------

The large drive was setup with the following BSD partitions:

/		---- root was 32 meg
swap		---- swap was 72 meg
/var		---- var was 30 meg
/usr		---- usr was about 1800 meg or more.

------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure this is not all of the information that you will need but its all that I
could think of at the moment. Please contact me at the e-mail address below or at 
the phone number also listed below. Thanks for your help.

I belive our atapi driver works much better these days. 

Sorry about the late reaction to this PR.
