Hi,

As I told in my previus mail , I can' t install FreeBSD 3.1 on my PC.

This is exactly what I did:

1- I downloaded via FTP (not using NETSCAPE and in BINARY MODE) kern.flp
and
	mfsroot.flp.
2- I formatted 2 (new) floppies with : fdformat /dev/rfd0 (I tried
	with different floppies)
3- I copied the two files on the floppies with : dd if=___.flp
	of=/dev/rfd0
4- I boot the PC with the kern floppy into the drive
5- When the bootstrap loader asks me for the MFS root floppy I inserted it
	and press enter, but the result was:

int=0000000e	err=00000004	elf=00030246	eip=00002147
eax=00002001	ebx=00000000	ecx=0000df07	edx=000003f5
esi=0000a9a3	edi=0000a9a3	epb=000003e8	esp=000003de
cs=ebce	ds=0040	es=f000	fs=0000	gs=0000	ss=9db7
cs:eip=8a 64 0a 8a c4 d0 e4 c0-e8 02 02 e0 b0 ff 2a c4
ss:esp=00 f0 6a 21 37 29 9e 25-a3 a9 00 00 fe 9d a3 a9
System halted


I tried the same floppies on two other PCs: they works only on one of
them (the one they didn' t work onto gave the same problem).

I tried also with the boot.flp of the 2.2.8-RELEASE and this works fine.


Can anyone help me?
