You need to the follwoing: 1 - Goto this site ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD 2 - Click on releases/i386/3.2-RELEASE 3 -Click on floppies in floppies directory you need to copy three files: Remember you need t floppy disk formatted: download kern.flp, mfsroot.flp and fdimage.exe to your hard disk. I am assuming that you are currently running windows95.98 or msdos. now do the followings: (Use floppy disk 1 ) C> fdimage kern.flp a: when this is done (Use floppy disk 2 ) C> fdimage mfsroot.flp a: Once that is completed you can reboot you P.C with disk 1 aftre some 3 to 5 minutes computer instruct you to use the second disk (ie: disk 2) and that it. Now If you already running on a unix machine you need to create your immages like this (Use floppy disk 1 ) dd if=floppies/kern.flp of=/dev/rfd0 or dd if=floppies/kern.flp of=/dev/floppy (Use floppy disk 2 ) dd if=floppies/mfsroot.flp of=/dev/rfd0 or dd if=floppies/mfsroot.flp of=/dev/floppy Regards Abbas P.s Let me know how you are getting on To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
