Description Klaus-Juergen Wolf 1999-10-17 19:40:01 UTC 
While booting from the boot floppies created with "make release" from
the CVS Repository, either with 3.3-RELEASE and 3.3-STABLE
(SNAP-19991016), the first boot disk stops with the error messages:

zf_read: fill error
elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed

I've never tried a re-installation with distribution code made from the
CVS Repository before, therefore there might be a problem with my
current software installation in the process of creating the floppy
images.

Fix: 

unknown
How-To-Repeat: 
As described.

Are you sure you used the right image for the boot floppy? There is a
2.something megabyte file as well that is intended for LS120 (?) 
disks.

IIRC I once had a similar (the same?) error when I 'dd'ed the wrong
image file from the CD onto the floppy.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Looks like it was a bad image - either the wrong one, or a corrupted 
one.
