However I'm unable to boot from the mini-iso for some reason. Set cdrom to bootable from bios setup, and it won't take. I can set bios to boot from floppy and then it does, albeit tried a w98 floppy cuz don't have my fbsd floppies anymore. But, can I run fsck from the sysinstall screen? Because that's what I eventually get thrown into after those error msgs. Except nothing seems to worth viz. the "Couldn't create directory /tmp/.doc: Read-only file system" msg.
