Hello,
	When booting with the boot.flp or boot4.flp images from 
	ftp.freebsd.org in the 2.1.5-RELEASE/floppies dir., my machine 
	gets to the "boot:" prompt and then (no matter what i type) Reboots...
	What the heck is causing this? the boot/root images from
	the 2.1.0-RELEASE/floppies dir. boot fine, but error at the
	end of install when using the 2.1.5R binaries.
	
	Any help would be greatly appreciated.
			thank you,
