I am having trouble getting a newly compiled kernel to boot under FreeBSD 
2.0..

If I copy the newly compiled kernel to the FreeBSD 2.0 boot floppy the 
kernel loads and the system boots up to the FreeBSD install menu..

If I try to load the kernel from the sd0 device it begins loading and 
then all of sudden it reboots the machine..This is while it diplays the 
text, data strings with the spining cursor..

If I reload the original kernel using /kernel.old it works fine..

What I am doing wrong ???
