Hi ;
    I am installing freebsd-4.3 to industrial PC but not successful . Therefore , I need some advise from your . When I inserted floppy disk which contains "kern.flp" to floppy drive and reboot , the system seems does not able to read "kern.flp" . It always prompt me this error messages .....
   elf_loadexec : archsw.readin.failed 
   can't load module '/kernel' :
   input/output error 

What goes wrong ? What does it mean ? 
    When I insert the same floppy disk to another machine and reboot , it never prompt me this error messages . So , I'm very sure that my floppy disk is fine . 
   Can somebody tell me how to resolv this problem ?
