 >Description:
 When trying to install FreeBSD R3.1 from I get the following
 message after loading the kern and mfs root floppies.
 
 RTC BIOS diagnostic error ff<clock_battery,ROM_cksum,config_unit,
 memory_size,fixed_disk,invalid_time>
 changing root device to fd0c
 rootfs is 2880 Kbyte compiled in MFS
 
 At that point the installation hangs.
 
 This machine ran 2.2.8 without problem. I just booted with an
 R2.2.8 boot floopy and got the /stand/sysinstall main menu
 without problem.
 
 Suggestions?
