To: The FreeBSD Core Team: bugs@FreeBSD.org From: Wolfgang Seidl, Germany: 100022,2467@compuserve.com Date: 95/12/15 Subject: Problems while booting FreeBSD 2.0 from floppy disk Following the installation instruction to boot FreeBSD 2.0 from floppy disk, I encountered a serious problem. While booting I received the following error message in the last stage of the boot process: fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 16 of 16-31 (ST0 40<abnrml> ST1<no_um> ST20<cyl 0 hd 0 sec 17>) panic: cannot mount root syncing disks ... done Automatic reboot in 15 seconds ... If have to admit, that I tried it with different floppy disks, formatted on different machines. I also tried it on different PCs and recognized, on some of them it works, on others it won't. My PC configuration is as follows: Pentium 100 MHz PCI bus 16 MB RAM 1 GB IDE hard disk 1,44 MB 3 1/2" floppy drive (MITSUMI Mod. D359T5) I suppose it depends on the specific configuration of these PCs. I'm sure you know a solution to my problem. I'm looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely W. Seidl
