I noted that the kern and mfsroot floppies files from the cdrom differ from those that I downloaded separately. >How-To-Repeat: Create kern and mfsroot floppies from the "floppies/" directory on the 4.1-RELEASE cdrom. >Fix: Download new copies of the floppy images. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
