[-- Attachment #1 --]
i'm new to freebsd and like to run freebsd on a partion on my second hardrive (SCSI 18Gb) am running Windows XP on my first harddrive (SCSI 18Gb) and have an partition of 7Gb set aside on my second drive. When i try to create 2 floppies Kern.flp and mfsroot.flp i get a message that there is not enough room on the floppies. What to do?
Secondly is BSD version 4.5 compatible with Windows XP and do i have to set a dual boot section or is there another save way to boot into either?
If  i try to run E:\> tools\fdimage floppies\kern.flp A:
nothing happens?
Awaiting your reply
