Let's see, Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/cd0a 647556 647556 0 100% /cdrom/1 /dev/cd1a 600578 600578 0 100% /cdrom/2 /dev/cd3a 641716 641716 0 100% /cdrom/4 /dev/cd2a 653044 653044 0 100% /cdrom/3 That's 2542894 kB, or 1765 floppies. Just for you, I'll do them for $1 each. Of course, there are no guarantees that all the floppies will be readable. In fact, there's a good chance that 10 or so won't be. And for the same price, I could give you 10 sets of CDs *and* 10 CD ROM drives. That's why FreeBSD isn't available on floppy.
