Dear Sir/Madam:

I am reporting a bug in FreeBsd3.1.
Please accept my applogy for not using send-pr.

I have tried to make a bootflopy from dos using the following commands.

D:

tools\rawrite floppies\boot.flp

When the boot floppy created, the message was displayed:
"one bad sector"

I have tried to make a boot floppy on different machine and result was the same.

If you try to use the created floppy disk to boot up to freebsd, the following messages
are appeared on monitor and pc failed to boot into freebsd.

Here is the displayed messages.

I have used the same command to create boot floppy using freeBsd 2.2.8, and it works fine 
with out the problem.
