    Hi, I'm doing a headless install for the first time (4.9-R) but it won't work.
    I followed the procedure in the handbook carefully. When I enter
    `cu -l /dev/cuaa0` it just tells me I'm connected, but the handbook says it
    should prompt me for the second floppy.

    I tried cu -d:

            cu: fconn_open: Opening port /dev/cuaa0 (default speed)
            cu: fsserial_open: Baud rate is 9600
            cu: fconn_set: Changing setting to 0, 0, 2
            Connected.

    I checked the floppies, there's nothing wrong with them, but it looks like the
    computer fails to boot the kernel. The boot order is set correctly. It did
    boot a DOS floppy before.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Regards,
    Daniela
