>Organization:
Neurotox INC
>Environment:
New install.
>Description:
There is a problem with the kern.flp and/or mfsroot.flp images on the site. When you try to boot from these discs, once you get past the kernel-config, the machine gets an error. "Panic: I'm not going anywhere without my init." 
>How-To-Repeat:
Download the floppys from ftp.freebsd.org. Use fdimage.exe and create them. Then try to boot.
>Fix:
Use the floppy images from the CD-rom-iso, and use rawrite instead of fdimage.
