Hi !

Did a make release and burned a FreeBSD cd-rom from
/disk2/release/R/cdrom/disc1 subdir. BTW, didn't build doc
and ports ...

Created a bootfloppy, used the boot.flp disc image.

The floppy isn't bootable...

First message that looks strange:
No /boot/loader
[...]
Examples:
[...]
boot:
No /kernel
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:fd(0,a)/kernel
boot: ?
. .. boot.help boot.config kernel.config

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:fd(0,a)/kernel
boot:

Looks like the floppy isn't complete ...

     What gives you 90% more speed, for example, in kernel compilation ?
