I cannot boot from boot floppy for 2.1-Release on my GA-586AS
mother board.

The booting sequence is always freezed with the following mes
sage.

"rootfs is 1000 Kbyte compile in MFS"

It looks like that there is nothing wrong, but system have been
stopped for ever and never comes up to install menu.

My system specification is as follows:

CPU :  Pentium 90 MHz
M/B :  GIGA BYTE GA-586AS 
       chipset: SiS 85C501, 85C502, 85C503
       BIOS   : AWARD Plag and Play BIOS Extension V1.0A
       cache  : 256 KB
SCSI:  NCR 83C810 PCI
HDD :  QUANTUM LIGHTNING 540S on sd0
       QUANTUM EMPIRE_1080S on sd1

This system is currently running under FBSD 2.0-R and it doesn't have
any troubles.

Does any one know the reason why, and how to install 2.1-R ?

Thanks in advance,

Sadamoto Itoh
