I downloaded the boot-floppy-image"boot.flp" (version 6.2) from the FreeBSD-FTP-server and "dd"-ed it to a memory stick. Booting from this stick works fine with every other computer I have (a notebook and a newer workstation also with an ASUS-board). But trying to boot from the stick with the A7V gives me the following output: > > <------------------------- 8< -------------------------------> > Not ufs > Not ufs > No /boot/loader > FreeBSD/i386 boot > Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel > boot: > Not ufs > No /boot/kernel/kernel > <------------------------- 8< -------------------------------> > What happens if you enter: 0:da(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel ...at the boot: prompt (as opposed to fd(0,a)?
