The 5.1-rc1 and 5.1-RELEASE boot floppy images for alpha (kern.flp) are not valid boot images. I get the following error when trying to boot from verifiably bootable (with 4.8, 5.0, and linux) floppy disks: >>> boot dva0 block 0 of dva0.0.0.0.1 is not a valid boot block bootstrap failure The machine in question is a AXPpci/ noname motherboard with SCSI cdrom and IDE hard disks, running the latest AXPpci SRM firmware (v1.6). All the freebsd and linux floppies were created with dd on x86 linux.
