oh, well. They say something along the lines of "Disk error: lba is 0x9 (should be 0x10)" or similar. then it trys to boot the kernel twice using the loader, but fails with the path 0:fd(0,a)/kernel i tried it in vmware with the same results comming right from the image. mike On Thu, 17 Jan 2002, John Baldwin wrote: > > On 17-Jan-02 Mike Brancato wrote: > > Just leting you guys know that the Jan 15th and Jan 16th boot floppies > > aren't working. the Jan 13th snaps are though. > > How do they not work?
