>Description:
I created "kern" and "mfsroot" boot floppies using the images
contained on the cdrom image downloaded from:

  ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.1-install.iso

These floppies would not work, so I download new copies from:

  ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1-RELEASE/floppies

This time the boot was successful. 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.
