Hi,
Some more differences between for 4.X and from
5.3, needs to be clarified in the handbook.
Below are two such cases. The "-" lines need to
be removed, the "+" newly added instead.
------------------------------------------------
2.2.7 Prepare the Boot Media
-In most cases you will just need two files,
-kern.flp and mfsroot.flp.
+In case of 4.X, you will just need two files,
+kern.flp and mfsroot.flp; since 5.3, you will
+need three files, boot.flp, kern1.flp and
+kern2.flp.
------------------------------------------------
2.12.1 Installing FreeBSD on a System
without a Monitor or Keyboard
-To do this, you have to mount the kern.flp
-floppy onto your FreeBSD system using the
-mount(8) command.
+To do this, you have to put the kern.flp floppy
+(in case of 4.X) or the boot.flp floppy (since
+5.3) into your floppy drive, and mount the
+floppy onto your FreeBSD system using the
+mount(8) command.
------------------------------------------------
Please consider these modifications.
Regards,
Rob.
