>Description:
Trying install on IBM PS/2 9590-DLG. Booting from floppy yields this:

<console output>

disk error 0x4 (lba0x10)
disk error 0x4 (lba0x10)
No /boot/loader

>How-To-Repeat:
try to boot from kern.flp floppy
>Fix:

>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:
 
 </console output>
 
 This occurs regardless of what machine I make the floppy on (FreeBSD, Linux, NT), and these floppies will boot on any of my other (non-PS/2) boxen. Conversely, Slackware 7.1 boot disks made on any of my boxen will boot on this PS/2.
