You should use the kern.flp and the mfsroot.flp images instead. You will need two floppies. After copying the images to them, boot from kern.flp first and when it asks for it, insert mfsroot.flp. Wish you good luck with FreeBSD and please, in the future direct such questions to questions@freebsd.org. Thank you! Good luck! [Note to -doc: Shouldn't we change the name of boot.flp? It is more than confusing. But I do not know the El Torrito standard enough to know if it this name is necessary...] -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
