I have a PC which will boot all the boot floppies I have thrown at it (dos os2 linux netbsd and even freebsd) except FreeBSD boot disks from 950210 onwards. Could someone tell me if this is a sign of impending doom? ie. if I do manage to get FreeBSD installed via an old disk will a newer kernel boot from the HD?
