Thanks for the responce. I wish the problem was this simple. I have replaced the FD drive, the cable and new disks with no success. It turns out though that I can not load any other boot disk either. I wish that you could make a bootable CD instead of the floppies. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Palfreman" <william@palfreman.com> To: "Michael Wells" <michael-wells@swampwolf.com> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 5:06 PM Subject: Re: Kern.flp > On Wed, 5 Jun 2002, Michael Wells wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > I am trying to install 4.5 release on a second machine replacing > > a Linux installation.
