I'm a new user trying to install FreeBSD software 2.2.5 using floppy disk on
my Acer PC (Win95), Pentium 75 Mhz, 16MB RAM, 1.2MB hardisk, NE2000
compatible network card and SVGA video card.

I followed the instruction from the FreeBSD web page exactly to create the
bootable floppy disk for FreeBSD. Upon re-booting my PC, it read the floppy
disk. I typed in " -cv " at the " Boot: " prompt. After a while, the system
halted. The following is the message after the system halted :-

        boot: -cv
        Booting 0:fd(0,a)kernel @ 0x279000
        text=0x12a000 data=0x0 bss=0x00 symbols=[+0x600+0x4+0x270+0x4+0x1f4]
        total=0x3a446c entry point=0x279000
        Uncompressing kernel...

        crc error

         -- System halted

Need support wherever applicable.

Thank you.
