I am trying to install 4.3 from an iso i've downloaded from an ftp mirror. I 
have the iso on my windows desktop and I've got Adaptec Easy cd creator. 
Each time I try to create a bootable cd it asks me to insert bootable 
floppies into drive a. I then insert a floppy w/ the kern.flp image. After 
this I get the error message saying " ... Either the boot image could not be 
written to the temp dir or the floppy could not be read." well I know the 
floppy disk is good b/c I can boot into the freebsd install pgm using this 
disk.

I don't seem to be able to create a bootable cd for a non-windows machine. 
When I'm asked to insert a bootable floppy Easy CD creator seems to want 
floppies containing config.sys and autoexec.bat.

any hlp apprec,
Manny
