>Environment:

FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE on IBM Thinkpad 755CD, internal 2880K bytes floppy
drive.

>Description:

When booting the kern.flp floppy, the following message displays:

error 4 lba 128
No /boot/loader

and the boot aborts.

The same Thinkpad boots a DOS disk without any trouble, so I think
the drive itself is OK.

The floppy that fails on the Thinkpad works fine in other machines,
so it seems to be OK, too.
