I get only around 1457664 bytes of free space after formatting a 1.44 MB floppy diskette on WindowsNT! What do I do to get around this problem? Create 2 diskettes? if so how do I do it, the fdimage program doesn't give any explicit options for usage. And for doing an FTP install of (freeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE on i386) do I really need boot.flp?? or is kern.flp and mfsroot.flp enough? Any assistance will be appreciated.
