Everytime I boot a kern floppy it gives a zf_read error. This error does not occur on other (modern) pc's so the floppy seemes oke but other boot disks (for instance my debian installation disk) do work, so the floppy drive seems to read oke as well. What can I do to install FreeBSD 4? Yours sincerely, Jouke Witteveen the Netherlands
