Dear Folks,

Just spent the last little while trying to get RiscBSD up and running on
the RPC. I've been following the 1.1 instructions, replacing bits and bats
with the SA-aware 1.2-release kernels, and inst images.

If I create a bootdisc by

format :0 DOS/Q
misc.flopwrite -t=1440 inst-12/fs

and boot up RiscBSD using the sa110-4713, or the sa110-15 kernel,
everything goes smoothly, until the ramdisc's allocated, and the kernel
tries to copy stuff from the floppy drive.

Then - panic: Unable to load ramdisc

and everything stops.

I presume I'm not creating the bootdisc properly - any hints and tips on
what I've got wrong?

Thanks,

Dan.
