I couldn't search -questions cause the search tool is borked apparently (None of the archives you requested (freebsd-questions) are available at this time), so here goes: Ok, so I went to ftp.freebsd.org , downloaded the 4.4-RELEASE floppy set, and the fdimage.exe tool. Then I went to my Win98 machine and used fdimage (tried rarwrite too) to write out the image files. No errors using either tool. I booted the machine using the KERN.FLP image floppy and things went well...got to the "Please insert the MFSROOT floppy" message and did so. Then it got to the countdown to loading the kernel, followed by a big fat No /boot/loader >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0,a)/kernel boot: No /kernel >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0,a)/kernel boot: Now I've used the boot floppies before (3.x & 4.1) but I haven't ever seen this error, or tried the 4.4 set.
