I am asked my friend Dmitri Louzguine <dmluz@imr.tohoku.ac.jp> (he is live in Japan now) translate file ftp://ftp.kiae.su/pub/FreeBSD/tools/bsdboot/README.jp from Japanian to English. I think, he is not translate himself, but asked somebody else. After he sent me this file, I edit his translation (see attachment). Please, check the translation, and if it is true, please, public this text in the next release. PS: The "bsdboot.com" is present on the FTP-site, but "kernel" file is present in the CD-ROM image only. The "bsdboot.com" is not working with floppy-image (of course). The "bsdboot.com" is absent on the CD-ROM image. --------------69C9180A72FE Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r; name="BSDBOOT.TXT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="BSDBOOT.TXT" Program for diriving FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD from the DOS mode.
