I downloaded the bin files from /.25/FreeBSD/3.0-970618-SN including bin.inf,bim.mtree,checksum.mds and install.sh. Quite naturally I have also downloaded the installboot floppy.I also tried using the bins from 2.2.2 release,with the same results.I have a 2.4gig drive with 388m partitioned as sd0s1 for use with FreeBSD.Could you please help me? I have tried to provide you with as much info that I could, so that you would have a clear picture of what is going on.If you need any more info, I will respond promptly. Thank you very much, Kevin Abernathy
