Firstly, my FreeBSD 2.2.5, 2.2.8 and 3.2 boot disks ALL work fine. However, I made PicoBSD disks on two different computers (one was a libretto runnin 3.2-stable one was my -current machine). The PicoBSD disks just fail on the old PC. But they work just great on every other PC in the lab. (I even changed the floppy drive to make sure) In one case, the computer thinks the floppy disk does not contain anything botable. In another case, I get Disk Error 0x02 (lba=0x10). Any ideas?
