I am trying to install FreeBSD from floppy and they fail to extract on the system. I have tried putting the bin.* chunks in the floppy root directory, and in a directory named /bin. Next I am going to try /freebsd, hopefully this will work. You may wish to update the handbook to tell the correct directory to put the files. I finally got it to work by telling it to commit and then it asked for the files in /bin. One of my disks seems to be bad, 9 of 12, it asked if i wanted to retry and I said yes, and now it is prompting for the manpages disk instead of the bad bin disk. Not sure if this is the intended action. Regards, Mark Seiffert
