That was it!  It does appear that there si something wrong
with the 1.6.1 floppy.  Now my next problem...

I am trying to create the the inital partition for the
boot code.  Now mind you, I have replaced the SCSI drive
with an IDE drive.  The drive is free of any partitions.
When I run "fdisk -u /dev/wd0" and "fdisk -u /dev/wd0a",
I get this:

fdisk: /dev/wd0: Device not configured
fdisk: /dev/wd0a: Device not configured

I saw something about runing simply 'fdisk -u" and I get
the error:

fdisk: /dev/rmd0c: No such file or directory

Any thoughts on what I should do next?  

I am also reading ahead and pondering step 3 of Jesse's
"7248 Install success!" email. From looking at section
"3.3.3 Partitions" of the install guide, it looks like the
disklabel is what others might call a logical partition.
And a quick glance over the man page, it looks like this
is setting up a label on the disk like I see in Windows.
Is this correct?

I am completely confused with with step 4.  Jesse, are you
installing over a pre-existing netBSD install?
