I just bought a computer without CDrom. I made the kernel and mfsroot floppies on another machine. When I put the kernel floopy on the new computer it gives a "disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter". I tried the same kernel floopy on another machine and it boots. I also tried a windows 98 boot floppy on the new machine and it booted ok. The specs of the new machine are: TyanS1598 motherboard Teac floppy Also the network card tries to boot prior to the floopy, but it eventually times out. That card is an Intel Pro 100+. Is there a way to disable this card from trying to boot? Although I am not sure that card has anything to do with the floppy not been recognized. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
