I can't make a binary upgrade with sysinstall. It always fails at the same byte of the base distribution. I think it's not a hard disk problem, because when I skip the base distribution the rest of the packages (doc for example) go through that byte and finishes all the chunks OK. I output here a dmesg and a df -h (the machine is an old pentium I but i've tried to attach the hard disk to another machine, another pentium I machine, and i've got the same problem). it's very annoying the opacity of the error message, even if you can not fix this problem, it would be a nice idea to elaborate this error to let future users imagine where the problem might be. I even offer you an account to log in if you need more info. Thank you very much. Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.

Besides, searching on google I can find other guys that have experienced the same issue, so a clear response on this is really needed. How-To-Repeat: Just ask me to let you log in my machine.
