I used to get this kind of error every time I touched my old Bell Tech 386. It
seems that the disk controller was especially suseptable to static electricity.
This wasn't too bad until I up graded to release 3.2 when the hd device driver
began automatically re-mapping bad sectors and my root fs would get totaly
trashed.
luckily I upgraded to 386/ix and a new machine.
