[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, My intent is to ftp FreeBSD down to my system. I am currently running MS-DOS and have been attempting to make a boot disk. I downloaded the 2 files for that, entered the commands, the floopy was formated, etc. I rebooted the computer. What I was faced with then was a line stating the file boot.config could not be found, then a line stating that boot.help could not be found, then a couple of lines about FreeBSD and A: drive. Then the prompt came up, followed by boot: Then the statement that the kernel could not be found. Then all I got was a continious cycle between boot: and the kernel missing message. Uh....what is it trying to tell me? Thanks, Curt [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content='"MSHTML 5.33096490.89251448.12071"' name=GENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2> My intent is to ftp FreeBSD down to my system.
