4.4-RC kern.flp (expunged GENERIC w/ mca support kernel)

>Description:

Hello,

I've been given an Ibm PS/2 Server 85 (9585-1XG) and I'm trying to
install FreeBSD on.

Server 85 floppy drive is a 2.88 Mb one.

I've modified 4.4-RC kern.flp replacing GENERIC w/ a kernel tailored for
the box (mca support and removal of a bunch of drivers). This disk boots
fine on my Thinkpad, then loads /kernel and halts as the
kernel can't run on the Thinkpad :).

When I try to boot custom kern.flp in the PS/2, the following appears on
screen (hand copied) :

Disk error 0x4 (lba=0x10)
Disk error 0x4 (lba=0x10)
No /boot/loader

>How-To-Repeat:

Insert disk in the box, same thing happens at each boot.

>Fix:

None known
>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
 >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
 Default: 0:fd(0,a)/kernel
 boot:
 Disk error 0x4 (lba=0x10)
 No /kernel
 
 >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
 Default: 0:fd(0,a)/kernel
 boot:
 
 man 8 boot says the following about error code : 0x4   Sector not found.
