I downloaded the 'boot.flp' and 'fdimage.exe' files to create a FreeBSD bootable floppy. I have tried running fdimage with the syntax 'fdimage -f 1.44M boot.flp a:' to create the bootable floppy, but I get the message 'boot.flp - File is too big.' I am trying this from a DOS window within Win95 and have tried booting the computer in Command Prompt Mode. Any idea how to get this to work properly?
