(fyi, i Have you tried other floppies, did you format them yourself, even if they came "Dosformated" out of the box ? Maybe you have other problems with your hardware, but this is the first thing to think about, at least from my (few) experiences in my homelan. It took me 4 or 6 floppies the last time I did an install. And you should maybe do the fdimaging not in a windows dosbox but in real dos, if you did it this way. Maybe it helps, good luck, Heiko To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
