    Thanks for the reply Ben. However I'm unable to boot from the mini-iso for
    some reason. Set cdrom to bootable from bios setup, and it won't take. I
    can set bios to boot from floppy and then it does, albeit tried a w98
    floppy cuz don't have my fbsd floppies anymore.

    But, can I run fsck from the sysinstall screen? Because that's what I
    eventually get thrown into after those error msgs. Except nothing seems to
    worth viz. the "Couldn't create directory /tmp/.doc: Read-only file system"
    msg.
