Did it occur to you that many, many people have went there before you, and that it MUST work or someone would have fixed it already?? You need to go to www.freebsd.org and go read the documentation. It will tell you that you need a utility program to create the floppy if you're using DOS, or you can use the unix dd command. >By the way, can you make you boot.flp file even smaller to fit in a 5 1/4 >1.2MB floppy disk? I have a problem to switch my floppy drives. Good luck... Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
