From: Zsolt Koppany <zkoppany@multix.de>

I have just received the FreeBSD2.0.5 CD, and I tried to install because
we would like to try to port PathFinder.

FreeBSD2.0.5 does not support my CD drive thus I have copied files into a
DOS partion. (The d: drive has a 150Mb DOS and 370Mb are free for FreeBSD).

  xcopy /s e:\dists\bin d:\freebsd
  xcopy /s e:\floppies d:\freebsd

I set the 'Media' to DOS partion but I did receive the error message as follows:
  Couldn't get root image from wd1s1. Will try to get it from floppy.

What is the problem ?

Best regards,
