Subject: trouble installing FreeBSD via MSDOS
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

I recently downloaded the boot.flp file from the freeBSD web page(From the 
Easy to Install, these directions section of your FreeBSD home page). I read 
your instructions for downloading a copy of FreeBSD (which is what I'm trying 
to do) and was unsuccessful still.  My problem arose when I tried to use your 
program fdimage.exe to copy the boot.flp to my 3.5 floppy drive(a:) while in 
MSDOS mode. I copied both files, boot.flp, and fdimage.exe to a subdirectory, 
FREEBSD as you explained in the Installing in MSDOS helpful hints section of 
the Installing FreeBSD web page. So while in MSDOS mode, I was in C:FREEBSD> 
and ran the program, fdimage.exe. It displayed 
Usage fdimage [-dsqv] [-f size] [r ?] file drive
So I typed 
C:FREEBSD>fdimage [-dsqv] boot.flp a:
But unfortunately, that did not work. So I am writing you in hope of a 
solution. Your response Is awaited and anticipated.

			Thanks,
			Cole
