Please send me an e-mail if this works for you, as my system has the same
configuration as your system.

I have been waiting for the SB-16/Panasonic CD-ROM support so I could
load my FreeBSD 2.0 system. I downloaded the boot and cpio floppy
images from 950322-SNAP but I cannot get past the BINDIST step. I
assumed I only needed to download the boot and cpio images to make
the floppies, boot these up so I get the new Panasonic option, then
follow the rest of the steps to load a 2.0 Walnut Creek system from
the CD-ROM. But when I select these options the BINDIST default it
looks in is /mnt/bindist/bin instead of just /mnt/bindist. The error is
"Error! unable to cd to /mnt/bindist/bin directory". Entering paths
relative to /mnt always tacks /bin on at the end and I can't see where
these files would reside as there's no "bin" directory that appears to
contain anything like the base system.
Do I need to download anything else from the SNAP area? Maybe I need ALL
the SNAP files, however this will take forever to download and I was
hoping to use the 2.0 CD-ROM. At some later date I would purchase the
2.1 CD and re-install to get all the fixes and improvements.
