I will appreciate it very much if you could help me out.

I tried to install from floppy. I got the bootflp to work and all
the way to "select media". I selected Floppy and insert the
disk which has files
   a:\bin\bin.aa, bin.ab, ...
and hit return. It complained "could not find distribution
"bin".

How should I create those files bin.aa, bin.ab, ...?

I formatted the disks, and ftped from FreeBSD. and Have no idea why
it did not work.

Help, please. Thanks.
