Did anyone ever answer this poster?

To the OP:

How did you determine your floppies were too small?
What steps did you follow in preparing them?
Did you follow the instructions at www.freebsd.org?
Remember that you must make a disk **image**,
not just copy the "kern.flp" files to a DOS diskette....

To answer your question regarding "using a CD that does
already have stuffs on it", I don't think that's possible....
