hmm, this is worrying. I've experienced this problem since i begun fiddling
with 1.5. On different quadras, different disks, mac IIci... on disks that
were tested heavily under mac os, on internal and external disks. With
active and passive terminators! This particular case *might* be the new
disk, put as I installed it 2 months ago i experienced problems like this on
a rock-soldi chain with a proven termination...

When I asked for help last time I was told that this was a problem of the
intaller: arising from different scsi and mac controllers.
This time it is so strong that make devices is not working at all. Scsi read
error # 5 as soon as I select it. On the other hand copying the several
megabytes of tgz with cpin to ffs works. But "ls": gives errors.

Now i partially copied the devices off another BSD disk I just mounted, but
not everything got right and "MAKEDEV all" missed to bbuild a device (at
least at boot time getty complains so).

Also, fopr information: whn, during the install process do the /etc/fstab
and the mount point for kernel and proc get created? Using the above method
I miss all of them. I try now patiently to reconstruct them usind
single-user mode. But it's the first time in my life I'm fiddling in such
way with unix. Educative!
