You can download two floppies (kern.flp & mfsroot.flp) from FTP site where you got the ISOs, or get them off the CD if you can mount that. Burn to floppies like this (as root): dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k dd if=mfsroot.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k Boot kern.flop and follow instructions, eventually telling it to get distributions from CD/DVD. You probably ought to first try this to test your burning of the CD a bit (use acd0 or cd0): mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt cd /mnt
