If you had bothered to read the README files, FAQ, HANBOOK, or anything else that covers the installation of FreeBSD, you would know that you do NOT copy the file. The file boot.flp is a DISK IMAGE, that needs to be written to disk (NOT COPIED). FreeBSD is not compatible with DOS, and a dos formatted floppy will not boot FreeBSD. As for the file being too large for the destination drive, you should know that it will fit perfectly onto a 1.44meg floppy. Get the rawrite.exe utility, and try again. ---- From: North Star <burgundy23@hotmail.com> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Friday, May 09, 1997 12:26 PM Subject: Boot Floppy does not fit on floppy disk! >Your boot floppy which you say goes on a 1.44meg 3.5 floppy >disk , does not go on a 1.44meg 3.5 floppy disk.
