Description Paul Pathiakis 2001-09-19 16:00:10 UTC 
Boot floppies for 4.3 and 4.4 have an issue loading on Dell Precision 410.  The kern.flp load fine.  The mfsroot.flp starts to load and, once it hits the "Hit [Enter] to boot immediately....", the prompt spins once or twice and the machine promptly reboots.

Fix: 

Unknown at this time.
How-To-Repeat: Get a Dell 410, create boot floppies with dd command on a FreeBSD 4.3 box, and try to load the mfsroot.flp to build the machine.

Does the same problem cause you troubles with more recent FreeBSD 
releases, like 4.6 or 4.6.2?
