I am having problems getting the boot disks to boot up on my computer.
I am using FreeBSD.  I have rawrited the boot.flp and cpio.flp
to floppy disks.

I boot off of the boot disk and it just reads the drive over and over,
while it is reading it sends and receives data to the modem.  Then after
it reads for a while it just reboots.  It never says anything on the screen.

I know that it is not a problem with the disks because I have tried to same
disks on another computer and they work just fine.

Any help will be most appreciated.
