Hmm! That's no good! I wonder what it is about your hardware that's causing this? I presume you've verified your 2.1.5 boot.flp image and the media? > the 2.1.0-RELEASE/floppies dir. boot fine, but error at the > end of install when using the 2.1.5R binaries. Right, because root.flp is gone. I'm almost thinking of creating a special root.flp for 2.1.5 which wouldn't actually be used by it but would make the 2.1R installer happy (at which point we could at least get people's systems up in these situations). -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
