>Description:
The floppy-based installation instructions in the online documentation say to issue the following command to create the boot floppies for FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE i386:
"fdimage kern.flp a:"
However, fdimage.exe reports that the file kern.flp is too large.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just issue the indicated command at any DOS prompt using kern.flp or mfsroot.flp for FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE i386.
>Fix:
Use rawrite.exe instead of fdimage.exe with the same command syntax.
