I tried using both rawrite and fdimage. The boot floppy was the newer version. Another thing was that since my FreeBSD is on my second hard drive (wd1a), after installing System Commander 3.05, it would just say Read Error even before it showed anything from the bootstrap. Same case with using the 2.2.2R boot floppy if booted through system commander. The only booting method that works is booting the boot floppy and putting in wd(1,0)kernel to boot from the hard drive at the boot floppy. Any ideas?
