No output available. FreeBSD will not install.
>Description:
During installation from an MS-DOS partition of FreeBSD, downloaded
from the FTP server, and following instructions in the quick installation
guide to place bin files in c:\freebsd\bin, the installer program says,
"Cannot find file bin.aa"

-ALSO- the file BOOT.FLP exists in the /floppies directory, but ROOT.FLP
does not.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install FreeBSD as I have (described above).
>Fix:
Install from CDROM? Perhaps, but that costs money :)
