Hi. I'm trying to install NetBSD on a friend's machine, and I've been having
little luck:
wdc0: lost interrupt: status 50<drdy,dsc>, error 0
(that last one repeated many times)
wd0d: hard error reading fsbn 0 (ud0 bn0;cn0 tn0 sn0)
(many times, scattered with the first error)
wd0 dos partition i/o error
It then proceeds to act normal:
Found NetBSD partitions on wd0
believes starts at sector 1 in cyl 0 and is [1667271] sectors long [814M]
This might be all well and good in some cases, but we used FIPS to make the
partition 151M long! It's taking her whole drive, including her dos partition!
Please help.
-Dan

Scientists will (I am sure) be surprised and delighted that quite a
few shapes they had to call grainy, hydralike, in-between, pimply, POCKY,
ramified, seaweedy, strange, tangled, torturous, wiggly, wispy, wrinkled,
and the like, can henceforth be approached in rigorous and vigorous
quantitative fashion.
