I FTP from freebsd.cdrom.com cd .11/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE/dos-tools/floppies boot_144.flp using binary transfer I used dos-tools/rawrite3 and dos-tools/rawrite with the same results. "Address mark not found" and when trying to boot "Read error" The floppies are 1.44 (new) and I also tried formatting them again under DOS. Same results. The files were FTP to a VAX running VMS 5.4 and passed to the PC under PATHWORKS. I believe I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.0 ---- William R.
