You have to copy one of the boot floopy images from the floppy directory. I cannot explain it in detail here by there is an installation readme. Essentially you copy the floppy image using rawrite in dos or dd if you are using a unix. This floopy becomes the boot floopy and on it is the kernel which allows you to proceed with an ftp setup. The ftp setup essential copies the files required by the configuration which you choose during the setup. See the readme instructions found on the ftp site or visit the freebsdwww site for detailed instructions. Edward Ing
