I'm getting a System Halt after inserting the mfsroot floppy trying to
install 3.1-RELEASE or 3.1-STABLE on an HP Kayak 333.  I have successfully
booted and installed 3.1 on a Kayak 350 and Kayak 400, but the 333 is
being uncooperative.  Here is the stack trace I'm getting.  It looks like
it's related to the primary IDE controller.

BTX loader 1.00  BTX version is 1.00
Console: interal video/keyboard
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.5  638/65532kB
(root@usw3.freebsd.org, Fri Feb 19 10:01:50 GMT 1999)
/kernel text=0x18be9a data=0x1b34c+0x1dcc8 syms=[0x4+0x23c30+0x4+0x243bb]
Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter:

ss:esp=00 f0 4a 21 17 29 7e 25-15 a3 00 00 fe 9d 15 a3
System halted

This is the output from the -STABLE install, but the -RELEASE is the same.
The BIOS has just been updated to the latest revision (no help).  Here are
the system stats:

HP Kayak Pentium II 333
512K L2 cache
128 MB RAM
6 GB UDMA IDE HD
Cirrus Logic video card
HP ethernet card (Lance/AMD-based)
IDE CD-ROM (on secondary controller)

I appreciate any input you can provide.
