I'm trying to boot from a floppy disk made from yesterday's sources.
To be specific, I dd'd the disk image from 1.3.3 onto the floppy (to
get the disklabel right), then I used a -current installboot to put on
a -current biosboot.sym.  Then I gzipped a -current kernel and put it
on the floppy.  When it boots, I get:

n1+n2+n3+[n4+n5]read strings

where n1 through n5 are various numbers.  n5 is ludicrously large.

What's the problem here?

Thanks in advance.

Chris
