Just download the boot.flp file and copy it to a floppy with fdimage.exe (in the flopppies and tools folders respectively). Overall, you need to get bin/* manpages/* (you don't _need_ this, but I couldn't live without them) src/ssys.* (ditto, this is for building your own kernel) floppies/boot.flp tools/fdimage.exe All these relative to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.7-RELEASE/, or your nearest mirror. It's probably worth waiting a few days though until 3.0 is released. (some of the above may be wrong; just look in ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD and use common sense) > Will this work with Windows os's (boot loaders)?
