Hello List People,

I have an LC475, 20MB RAM and a Quantum 1.2GB Fireball.  I have a 500MB
partition for the MacOS, a 50MB swap partition and the remaining is for
NetBSD (@650MB).  In trying to install the "base" package, it get through
to almost the end (95% or so) and then the following will appear in the
window (shown below are the last few lines before the it stops).  The only
thing I can then do is hit ENTER on the keyboard, and the install program
will then exit.

alloccgblk: can't find blk in cyl




Can anyone lend a hand.  I have tried reformatting the drive, putting the
swap partition first, second and last.  I have changed the size of the
NetBSD partition, changed the size of the swap partition without success.
The error message looks like its a hard drive problem, but before I started
this endeavor, the drive was fine with no bad blocks.

I am stumped (and my wife thinks I'm nuts).


Regards,

Rick.
