Hello,

First, I must say that I am a huge BSD fan ever
since I started using it in undergraduate, late 80's.
I think FreeBSD is a first rate OS, keep up the
good work!

Now, I have just accomplished installing 2.1.0. 
This did not go as smoothly as I had hoped for,
but I am not very particular so, that's ok.
However, somewhere between reboots, /stand/sysinstall
disappeared.  I was planning on using it to pull
down more of the distribution...
(While I was wrestling with the install itself, I
limited the install distribution to the minimal
set needed.)  [Details about why installation
was difficult for me are available upon request
:-).]

I figured it is buried in the root.flp somewhere,
but whenever I try to mount /dev/fd0 /mnt,
it says: Incorrect super block.

So, could some kind soul lend me the binary to
sysinstall for 2.1, or let me know how to
recover it from the floppy?
