>Description:
When I try to boot from the installation floppy, loader reports:

"BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS drive D: is disk1
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.7 693/64512kB
(jkh@time.cdrom.com,....)
Can't work out which disk we are booting from.
Guessed BIOS device 0x0 not found by probes, defauling to disk0: "

My computer is ALR Evolution V (EISA bus, Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS v1.00.32B 05/25/93)

There are also AHA-1542C and AHA-1540B installed on it. So, I have 3 floppy controllers - 1 of them enabled (no matter which one) and 2 disabled.
MS-DOS, MS-Windows and Linux can use thise floppy with any problems.

>How-To-Repeat:
reboot, reboot ...
>Fix:
throwaway old computers or do not use new programs :)
