NetBSD 1.1

A few months ago, I installed NetBSD with no problem on my previous 
computer.  But, now, (where i'm guessing the problem is) I've gotten a 
new motherboard and am installing it again.

Award PnP Bios 1.0a
Intel Pentium 100
Triton

The problem doesn't seem to occur until bsd lists fd0a in its startup 
sequence.  From there, I get bombarded consistantly with a

fd0a: soft error reading fdbn xxxx

Could this be a caching problem?

Thanks,
Noby
