I'm trying to install FreeBSD on an AlphaServer 300 4/266, booting from
floppy, it has failed several times, I have tried several floppy disks, I
also have just updated the firmware to the latest but still no luck!

From console (>>> ) I enter "boot dva0"
it does a few things, then crashes at:

Loading /boot/loader
-
halt CPU 0

halt code = 2
kernel stack not valid halt
PC = 0
boot failure

I have installed NetBSD but would prefer FreeBSD!
NetBSD installed without much trouble!

What is wrong, PLEASE HELP!

Thanks
