The 10/31/99 Snap4.0 floppies gave me the same SRM errors: IDE command not successfully terminated ST0 = 40 Missing address mark IDE bad sector encountered or read unsuccessful The 11/11/99 Snap4.0 floppies gave me the same SRM errors, however the loader actually loads and attempts to boot the kernel and then halts: Entering kernel at 0xfffffc00003245e0... halted CPU 0 halt code = 2 kernel stack not valid halt PC = fffffc00004ac70c >>> Taking this one step further to confirm that this wasn't actually a problem with the floppies, I ran a minimum installation on an AS200 (Mustang), and then physically installed the drive into the 3300. No errors booting the loader and all commands at the loader level seem to work fine. The loader will successfully load a kernel from the drive, but once control is passed to the kernel the system halts: /kernel data=0x294608+0x22cb0 syms=[0x8+0x36f60+0x8+0x2699e] Entering kernel at 0xfffffc00003258c0... halted CPU 0 halt code = 2 kernel stack not valid halt PC = fffffc00004ff62c >>> Hoping that someone can help me get this running, as I think it will make a very nice FreeBsd server.
