[-- Attachment #1 --] Good afternoon, I have created two floppies using the following command: fdimage ker.flp a: fdimage mfsroot.flp a: Then, I copied all the files from \freebsd\release-3.1\bin to my DOS partition keeping the same directory structure. Then, I boot the PC with the 1st floppy and insert the 2nd floppy in the drive when I am asked. Then I create a native BSD partition marked Freebsd, create the other partitions like /root, /swap ane etc. From the menu, I choose DOS Partition as the media to install the software from but the system can not find the /bin, /swap, manpages, etc on my partitio! I have one disk and have 2 NTFS partitions and a fat partition. Prior to booting the pc with 1st floppy that I created above, I made the FAT partition my active partition. as soon as I boot the pc with the 1st floppy, the native BSD partition becomes active! Is it okay? If yes, then why can it not find the /bin, /manpages, etc on my FAT partition? I am really frustrated as I do not understand why it can not find the data on my FAT partition. can someone please help? Thanking you in advance for your help.
