Next, I boot up using the 2 FBSD floppy disks "kern.flp" and "mfsroot.flp". I created the slices and partitions, and when I was prompted to select the method to install, I chose FTP. I've specified using DHCP, but the system couldn't find any at all. It seems like no connection was made between the laptop and the ADSL modem. What should I do ?
