I completely shutdowned it and inserted a boot floppy to start installation. I turned on the PC with the floppy and I got the following error message during the initial load of the kernel start installation: ---- begin of error messages ----- /kernel text=0x18be72 data=0x2eb35c+0xldcc0 zf_read: fill error elf_loadexec: archsw.readin.failed Can't load 'kernel' ---- end of error messages ----- I made the boot floppy using the RAWRITE utility based on the instructions on 'The complete FreeBSD' from the 3.1 CD-ROM. The version o the loader is as follows: FreeBSD i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.5 638/655 32kB I would appreciate it if you would let me know how I could work around this failure. Thank you! >How-To-Repeat: Insert the boot floppy made by RAWRITE utility on the 3.1 installtion CD-ROM and reboot the machine. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
