Hi All-

Well, I was able to boot my AS200 4/166 into sysinstall using
the kern.flp and mfsroot.gz from 3.0-19981125-SNAP by dd'ing
the kern.flp onto two floppies and puting mfsroot.gz one of
them.  However, sysinstall wouldn't find my disks ... it did
find both of the NIC's in the box.

So, I decided to try the latest set of floppies; however, I
get the following:

>>>boot dva0
(boot dva0.0.0.0.1)
block 0 of dva0.0.0.0.1 is a valid boot block
reading 14 blocks from dva0.0.0.0.1
bootstrap code read in
base = 1f2000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 1c00
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 1e4000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code
Console: SRM firmware console
VMS PAL rev: 0x1000000010538
OSF PAL rev: 0x100000002012e
Switch to OSF PAL code succeeded.

FreeBSD/alpha SRM disk boot, Revision 
(jkh@beast.cdrom.com, Mon Dec  7 01:35:39 GMT 1998)
Memory: 65536 k
/kernel data=0x1e80a8+0x26920 zf_read: fill error

elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed
load: can't load module '/kernel': input/output error

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [kernel]...               
can't load 'kernel'

Bummer!  Any hints, tips?  Is this something I can solve by
mounting the floppy on an x86 box and editing one/some of the
files in /boot?  I am currently doing this via a serial console
but it does have a Mach64 in it.

Thanks
Sean
