I am attempting to do a fairly minimal install of FreeBSD onto a 486-33Mhz with a 212Meg disk. Told the novice install procedure to use the whole disk for BSD. Used 3.5" floppies with MS-DOS formatting...reformatted when they won't work. Tried placing the '/bin' files in their own subdirectory on the floppies, then in \FREEBSD\BIN and am still getting, after the 'Please insert floppy for floppy drive unit A' and doing so, the message Message: Couldn't extract the following distributions. This may be because they were not available on the installation media you've chosen: bin Its getting frustrating...probably something very simple....but....HELP ! Thanks.
