Terry, *READ* the question.

It was on a 'BOOT FLOPPY'.  That's one of those things that we (the
project) make to install FreeBSD.  No external file systems, no NFS,
nothing funky.  Just a *BOOT* floppy.

If you *read* the report, you'd know this.  If you don't know about the
boot floppy, then don't answer the question w/out understanding the
question.

You're only confusing the issue with non-issues.  Mike has already
responded with the most logical answer, and unfortunately the 'fix'
didn't fix the problem and/or the boot floppy hasn't been updated with
the fix.
