I tried installing Freebsd similar to Linux installation,i.e. making boot and root floppies, but it seems that after reading the root.flp from drive a>, it cannot find the rest of the files which are on drive c> DOS partition. I not sure if I have missed something or that section 2.3 is incomplete. I would like to know if there is a way to install Freebsd similar to Linux. Sincerely, Don
