Hi folks,

Loading kernel. Please wait... /kernel text=0xc379c elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed can't load 'kernel' Error booting

This happens with both a modified 'net' configuration as well as with the stock 'router' configuration. The boot blocks and boot loader seem to work as usual (I get the usual loader messages, the BootFORTH menu, etc.) but the boot loader apparently can't read in the kernel properly.

I've tried multiple machines and multiple disks, but the problem remains - so presumably this isn't simply a hardware read error. Does the problem sound familiar to anyone? Am I (most likely) missing something obvious?

Well, it looks familiar to me - more or less it means "I can't read this sector from the media, help!", and I usually was able to get rid of it with a new floppy... but in your case, if you already tried it, well...
