I have downloaded FreeBSD onto the = Bootable floppy=20 disks and have just attempted to Boot the computer into the FreeBSD = setup=20 Program.

I Inserted the 1st disk (kern.flp) into = the A: and=20 booted up the PC, it then proceded to boot, but it did not ask me to = insert the=20 mfsroot.flp disk it simply told /asked me the following:

=20 Disk Error 0x10 = (LBA=3D0x41)

=20 =20 No/Boot/Loader

=20 = >>FreeBSD/i386=20 BOOT

=20 Default:0:FD=20 (0,A)/Kernel

=20 = Boot:

=20 No = Kernel

=20 = >>FreeBSD/i386=20 BOOT

=20 Default: 0:FD=20 (0,a)/Kernel

I have no idea what this means but i = gather that it=20 is not meant to happen!

I would be very thankful if sombady = could tell me=20 what needs to be done to rectify the situation.

Thanks
