Hi Jeff: I tried to created a boot floppy using different P.C and with a new floppy disk. The same thing happend again. Then I used freebsd2.2.8 and created the boot floppy with out any problem and with out any error message. Then I used the created boot floppy using Freebsd2.2.8 and boot up two P.C with out any problem. It look as the freeBsd3.1 is broken if you wan to make boot floppy using the (tools\rawrite floppies\boot.flp) command. But you can create a boot floppy using 2.2.8 and use the FreeBSD3.1 CD to install the FreeBSD3.1. However you can change your BIOS on your MotherBoard to boot from CDROM and then you can Boot to freeBSD successfully. I have sent a bug report to freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG .
