So i try: fdformat fd0 disklabel -B -r -w fd0 fd1440 newfs /dev/rfd0a mount /dev/fd0a /mnt echo '0:da(0,a)/boot/loader' >/mnt/boot.config But when the machine boots with the created floppy it tells me: Can't open /boot/loader Can it be, that i must put the kernel bootloader and so on to the disk too? How can i doo this? Actually i must reinstall the system for each failed boot prograss. its not verry fine :-( Olli -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
