The following reply was made to PR misc/22577; it has been noted by GNATS. From: opentrax@email.com To: alcino@tci.ufal.br Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: misc/22577: 486SLC2-50MHz won't boot 3.x or 4.x floppies, but d oes boot 2.2.7 Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2000 02:22:00 -0800 (PST) Could you please fill out a PR (Problem Report) at: http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html I said that I MIGHT work on this, if I get time. I suspect the problem is in the CPU probe code. As such I need to build a new set of boot diskettes to test this. I'm not sure when I'll get time, but if you fill out a PR there will at least be some information to check on.
