The handbook is out of date on this. %.3 has a boot.flp and two kern.flp . The handbook asks you to do a echo "/boot/loader -h" > boot.config to the kern.flp but that is not the first floppy in 5.3 boot.flp is. So I tried it with boot.flp and it did not work. My question is very specific. How can I configure the boot.flp to successfully do a headless install? It is not desirable to remove the hard drive, and place it another machine, and try to copy it that way. Sincerely, Brendhan
