>Description:
In src/sys/arch/i386/boot ,i can not make boot.
If in files io.c ,sys.c ,one renames function name strcmp ,we can make boot.
But the bootstrap codes are perhaps broken.
>How-To-Repeat:
Make inst floppy and reboot. In my case ,machine repeats rebooting.
With old bootstrap codes( version 2.7!) , new kernel and binaries,machine boots properly.
Sorry for my poor english.
