I have downloaded FreeBSD onto the Bootable floppy disks and have just attempted to Boot the computer into the FreeBSD setup Program.

I Inserted the 1st disk (kern.flp) into the A: and booted up the PC, it then proceded to boot, but it did not ask me to insert the mfsroot.flp disk it simply told /asked me the following:

                    Disk Error 0x10 (LBA=0x41)
                    No/Boot/Loader

                    >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
                    Default:0:FD (0,A)/Kernel
                    Boot:
                    No Kernel

                    >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
                    Default: 0:FD (0,a)/Kernel

I have no idea what this means but i gather that it is not meant to happen!

I would be very thankful if sombady could tell me what needs to be done to rectify the situation.

Thanks
