Yes
crc= Cyclic Redundancy Check
I looked in src/sys/* ....
I see lots of "CRC Error"
but only:
i386/boot/kzipboot/unzip.c: error("crc error");
pc98/boot/kzipboot/unzip.c: error("crc error");
pc98/boot/netboot/3c509.c: error("crc error");
If we ignore pc98, that leaves /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/kzipboot/unzip.c
First check your boot floppies have identicaL data content with
floppy images on the cdrom, (if you coopied them with some ascii copier,
for instance, they'll be useless)
Id the content really is the same,
you'd better get hold of hardware periperal testing programs,
& test your floppy drives, ram etc.
