Hi I have been using FreeBSD for about a year, recently an old IPX was
donated to my group.  I would like to use it as a web server and perhaps
as a file server.  I have run into one major problem when attempting to
install, after dd'ing the miniroot image using the FreeBSD machine, I
reboot the sparc by entering a <stop>+<a> then typing 'boot floppy' at the
prompt.  The machine reboots and attempts to boot off the fd device but it
dumps me back to the 'ok' prompt after displaying a memory error. 

What am I doing wrong?
