But when I boot my laptop with the kern.flp diskette, I get a read error. I DID format my floppies and version 2.8 works fine and I can read from it. Version 3.1 RELEASE and STABLE are both giving me problems. >How-To-Repeat: Just make a new kern.flp diskette for ver 3.1 and boot from it! >Fix: Put another copy of kern.flp and mfsroot.flp on the ftp server, perhaps. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong because version 2.8 works fine. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
