BIOS doesn't support cdrom boot, so created a fbsd 3.1-R boot diskette 
using the  "dd if=/cdrom/etc" command from Lehey book, dd seems to complete 
successfully.

But two different diskettes fail to boot with:

zf_read: fill error
elf_load exec: archsw.readin failed
cant load kernel.

and give a command prompt.

Help,
Len
