Synopsis: Kern.flp boot floppy error

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: jhb
State-Changed-When: Tue Jan 6 15:02:00 PST 2004
State-Changed-Why: 
The floppy images for 4.6 release are fine, this sounds like a bad floppy.
Note that sometimes dd(8) will succeed in writing but the floppy will still
fail when read.  Using fdformat is a good way to check for bad sectors.
