Hubbard" Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > I'm using the 1.2 meg boot disk... I did try the 1.44 once. Do you have a 1.44 floppy drive? I'm curious why you only tried this once. I've seen very strange problems occur from marginal media or drives - the new floppy driver appears to be MUCH more sensitive than the old one, and I've actually had to bin a floppy drive that just wouldn't load FreeBSD no how no way.. Out of alignment or something. Have you tried examining the `installed' system with a fixit disk or something to see if it looks kosher? A kernel and init and everything intact, etc.. > If this doesn't work I'm going to try NetBSD 1.0 and then lock > in to FreeBSD 1.1. ? I can't parse this, sorry! :( Jordan
