I am trying to install freeBSD2.05 using the CD from Walnut Creek. My aim is to install a system with netwoking features and Xfree. I have an IDE hard drive and IDE CDROM. I have partitioned my disk, 250MB for DOS, 500MB for BSD (which I split into 300MB for / and 200 MB for /usr, and another 64MB for swap. I have copied some files from the cdrom onto the dos partition of my hard drive: xcopy /s d:\dists\bin c:\freebsd xcopy /s d:\floppies c:\freebsd xcopy /s d:\xf86311 c:\freebsd xcopy /s d:\manpages c:\freebsd xcopy /s d:\info c:\freebsd This is all I have room for on my DOS partition. I have made a boot floppy AND a root.flp using rawrite.exe. I proceed with the installation by rebooting my system with the boot floppy in drive a. I go through the installation, and request boot from DOS Hardrive. The installation cannot find the root, and asks for a floppy with root. I insert my root floppy,and then it asks for the bin/aa. It seems that it cannot find the stuff I have put on my hard drive. How do I remedy this situation? Am I doing everything incorrectly? Thanks Andrew Gibson
