This 'ERR M' error message is from the first-stage system bootstrap.
Read the biosboot(8) manpage for more details and to find this :
ERR M Bad magic. The ELF ``magic number'' \7fELF in boot(8)'s header
was not found. This indicates that the first block of boot(8)
was not read correctly. This could be due to disk corruption,
failing to run installboot(8), giving an invalid boot(8)
program
as the boot argument to installboot(8), or incorrect geometry
translation.
Try not using floppy emulation but build your own ISO with bsd.rd,
cdboot and cdbr. My first reply contains some pointers that may get
you going in this direction. The best hint is in cvs[1].
