Might be that you need to disklabel the image of the filesystem on
which you copy this files, ( not talking about the mfs filesystem that
is crunced into the kernel )
So, try the following.
Mount this image by doing 'vnconfig /dev/vn0 /pathtobootimage/myimage.img'
where myimgae.img is the 2.88 M boot image.
Now do a 'mount /dev/vn0 /mnt'
now do a 'disklabel -B -b /mnt/boot/boot1 -s /mnt/boot/boot2 /dev/vn0
Something like above, try and see if it works.
If it doesn't create a new filesystem, do newfs and disklabel, then copy all
those files of yours onto the filesystem.
You actually don't need all those files.
Anyways, i think it's the bootloader itself thats not loading the kernel on the
CD ( inside the 2.88 M) image. And to correct that you need to reinstall the
bootloader, and the bootblocks.
That is boot0 to boot2
