Hello!

I have a problem with the kern.flp from the 3.1-REL on my alpha164LX ,
when I try to boot from the dd'ed kern.flp floppy the SRM gives me
this 

(boot dva0.0.0.0.0 -flags 0)
block 0 of dva0.0.0.0 is not a valid boot block
bootstrap failure

however I found a kern.flp(boot.flp) from www.freebsd.orf/~msmith which
worked, but it is abit old (Oct 23).Isnt the kern.flp in 3.1-REL supposed
to be bootable on an alpha system ? or is there some special trick to get
it to work ?I run SRM v5.3-3.
