>Description:

[FDIV010]

The boot block looks for a kernel named 386bsd (or 386bsd.old) rather
than kernel*.  

At first I thought I had downloaded the wrong floppy images, but a second
download of the files in SNAP-032295/floppies resulted in the same problems.

SNAP-021095 did not have this problem and searched for "kernel".

Rename kernel or link to 386bsd will get around the problem of autobooting.

Hopefully we will switch back to the boot blocks we had in SNAP-950210
which thought the kernel was caller "kernel".
