I have the entire bin directory downloaded. I don't really want to pay for the cd and I don't want to do a DOS partitition. I want to install via floppy. Can you tell me how? I thook a 1.44MB disk then formatted in DOS. Then I put on the first disk the following files from the bin directory bin.inf, bin.mtree, checksum.md, install.sh, and bin.aa, bin.ab, and bin.ac. Then I rebooted my computer. It said invalid disk, thats what I expected because there was no executable. Can you please tell me how to install FreeBSD on floppy.
