Hi Y'all, At least since 13-Nov, but after 31-Oct, the boot floppy will install everything OK (?) but the system will not boot afterwards; BootMGR displays all the partitions, etc., but pressing F2 for FreeBSD (for example), yields a ``?'' and another list of Fx buttons to push. If you have DOS on the system, it will be invoked fine from the bootmgr. No reasonable set of arguments to the boot FLOPPY kernel loader ends up in a booted system (from hard disk - booting from floppy obviously works). Any suggestion will be appreciated. This is on an IDE HD, IDE CD, P6-200, etc. machine which runs FreeBSD fine otherwise. --- If Microsoft Built Cars: Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
