thanks for your help. I have tried with kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, the computer went well on install the kern.flp, but when I insert the mfsroot.flp into the floppy driver, it goes and then stuck during the hardware probing. I am curious that my computer did not meet this kind of problem when I installed 3.0, but with 3.1 it's a frustrating problem.
