Hi Steve,

> > I have a problem with booting from a 128MB USB-memory-stick with the ASUS A7V-133 motherboard. I downloaded the boot-floppy-image"boot.flp" (version 6.2) from the FreeBSD-FTP-server and "dd"-ed it to a memory stick. Booting from this stick works fine with every other computer I have (a notebook and a newer workstation also with an ASUS-board). But trying to boot from the stick with the A7V gives me the following output:

first of all: Thanks a lot for you very quick response.

Entering this at the prompt gives me the following output (includes the entered data):

<------------------------- 8< ------------------------------->
boot: 0:da(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernelerror 1 lba 0
No /boot/kernel/kernel
<------------------------- 8< ------------------------------->

Any other things I should try?

Best regards,
  Stefan
