System crashes during floppy installation while MFSROOT diskette
is starting its process, so no uname -a output is yet available.
>Description:
Summary: 4.0-Release consistently crashes a couple seconds into the floppy boot of MFSROOT diskette.
* Booting not recognized from CDROM #1 (presumably a local BIOS limitation, though
I seem to recall that 3.0 could CD boot though then later releases don't, but this isn't the issue)
* So: 'dd' used to make /floppies/kern.flp and /floppies/mfsroot.flp from 4.0 release CD set.
* kern.flp boots normally and prompts for mfsroot.flp
* mfsroot.flp inserted, <ENTER> pressed, system crashes within a few seconds (details/log below)
* Problem is repeatable after cold boot / reset;
first warm boot retry gave a crash register dump (not inspected);
second retry (cold boot) made the system reboot shortly after MFSROOT disk usage started;
third retry (cold boot) gave a somewhat differing register dump as that reported below.
* floppies were first made via fdimage, then remade with dd after the first failure, so a floppy
disk image error is probably not the cause of the floppy boot failures.

Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter:
[MFS root diskette inserted, ENTER pressed, then a couple seconds after MFSROOT diskette use begins:]

>How-To-Repeat:
Make kern.flp and mfsroot.flp from 4.0 release CD set
Insert kern.flp
boot from kern.flp, until it requests mfsroot floppy
insert mfsroot floppy
hit enter
system will crash with register dump or reboot within a few seconds
