I guess I can mount_msdos and make it available for ftp? Why not copy the files to the FreeBSD slice? :-) They should land under /pub/FreeBSD/2.2.2-RELEASE/ (or whatever your release is). > Now I want to install FreeBSD on another dos-machine on the network. > This machine doesn't have a floppy. Can I boot the install-floppy from dos? This is easier done with the CD-ROM as it has the necessary files on it, but it can be done using the fbsdboot program.
