I wanted to do a fresh install vs. an upgrade and unfortunately this box can not boot from CD, the install is also headless. I created the floppies, then mounted boot.flp and put a boot.config file on it with "-h" contained within. I then booted the install, got through the point where i had to reinsert the boot.flp disk, after the two kern*.flp disks, and the system went in to a loop. Here's the repeating error: spec_getpages:(md0) I/O read failure: (error=5) bp 0xc94fb9ec vp 0xc1d42d68 size: 36864, resid: 36864, a_count: 36864, valid: 0x0 nread: 0, reqpage: 0, pindex: 459, pcount: 9 vm_fault: pager read error, pid 1 (sysinstall) At first i thought it was a media issue or a download issue, but i've verified the md5 signature of the image, which came off a 5.4-RELEASE cd-rom, and have recreated four boot.flp floppies with the same result. My dmesg is below. Any input welcome. Thanks.
