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.
