To you guys at FreeBSD,

I am not able to boot off my floppy disk that I created using the two
downloaded files from the ftp servers in Australia & the US. I am using
a Pentium 100 and am trying hard to get FreeBSD underway. The making of
the floppy disk is fine, rawrite seems to work OK but as soon as I try
too boot off the floppy it completely freezes after reading the first
sector ie. After 1 Second! I have also tried my other two computers
(Compaq 386 & Olivetti 386) with the same results. What is going wrong?
I would really appreciate the help as I am very interested to see what
this OP is like.
