I find this an acceptable response if one wanted to copy the boot.flp image
from the cdrom or from an ftp site to a floppy. But how does one go about
creating their own bootable floppy? Say, one that does not place them into the
FreeBSD Installation scripts. I would like to create a floppy that I can use
to boot my system and use it to repair any damage to my current configuration.
