Description oysteik 2001-02-21 19:00:00 UTC 
There is a problem with the kern.flp and/or mfsroot.flp images on the site. When you try to boot from these discs, once you get past the kernel-config, the machine gets an error. "Panic: I'm not going anywhere without my init."

Fix: 

Use the floppy images from the CD-rom-iso, and use rawrite instead of fdimage.
How-To-Repeat: Download the floppys from ftp.freebsd.org. Use fdimage.exe and create them. Then try to boot.
