I followed the instruction from the FreeBSD web page exactly to create the bootable floppy disk for FreeBSD. Upon re-booting my PC, it read the floppy disk. I typed in " -cv " at the " Boot: " prompt. After a while, the system halted. The following is the message after the system halted :- boot: -cv Booting 0:fd(0,a)kernel @ 0x279000 text=0x12a000 data=0x0 bss=0x00 symbols=[+0x600+0x4+0x270+0x4+0x1f4] total=0x3a446c entry point=0x279000 Uncompressing kernel... crc error -- System halted Need support wherever applicable.
