OK, I will certainly try that then, giving the proper insturctions, since this Pentium1 FreeBSD PC will soon have a Windows PC next to it. However, I need a little advice/help: the handbook is still out-of-date for making serial console install floppies. Chapter 2.12 of the handbook talks about kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, whereas we have three floppies with 5.X install. Which one(s) of the three floppies of 5.X needs to be modified by the procedure of chapter 2.12 ? "Windows HyperTerminal" is then the way to go, isn't it?
