I downloaded the ISO from the bsd ftp = site some=20 time ago. Burned it and made floppies = using makeflp.bat.

Now I have wo disks that I labeled = Kernel and=20 MFSRoot. When I boot on the Kernel Disk It goes through some = process with=20 cryptic information coming acrss the screen and a spinning icon thing = made up os=20 slashes.....think this is a wait promt of some sort.

After about 5 minutes it beeps and = tells me to=20 insert the MFSRoot disk which I do and press enter.

It goes through more of the above and = then states=20 that it will reboot automatically in 10 seconds. This reboot was = not=20 mentioned in any of the DOCs but I since there is no error message I let = it=20 continue.

A complete reboot = happens...Computer counts=20 memory and then comes up with the following message/prompt

Default: 0fd(0,a)?

boot:

There is no information in the DOCs as = to what I=20 should do at this point. No matter what I type is always = responds=20 with

boot:

Do I have a bad ISO file here? bad install disk or = what?

Any help you may provide will be greatly appreciated..

Also for the record no internet access on this box will be = available...so=20 FTP install will be impossible.
