Read the docs on the cd-rom, to read the rom, install dos, & a dos cd driver, then read in the docs you'll find by browsing the cdrom, also make a bindist directory on your dos fdisk partition, & read the files across from cd to hard disk. You'll also find that FreeBSD supports sl/ip, so if you ahve a 2nd 3/4/586 around, & it can run the cd-rom under dos or nt or something, with an ftp support software , thats another way ... or if you have a friend with an ethernet & a cd drive .. buy an ether card too, theyre very cheap now (~50 DM @ ~2.3 DM/Sterling or 1.7ish DM/$US) Julian S jhs@freebsd.org
