Dear Sirs,

I have a notebook of NEC PC-9821 Na12/H10.
Now i wann install freeBSD on it, so first i made a
boot floppies of 3.5"(1.44M),and booted up the computer,
and executed all boot files(two floppies),system prompted
to insert floppy disk to install OS.

Before above work done, i have downloaded bin98.inf and
bin98.aa , bin98.ab,....
and in our pure DOS environment, i used FDIMAGE command to
copy bin98.inf to floppy disk,and inserted it into floppy
drive. but system said "error mounting floppy fdo (/dev/fdo.1440)
on  /dist: Invalid argument"

I didn't know how to proceed further.

I can affirm it was ok to boot system before starting installation
from floppies, the problem is installation floppies.
it should be insert floppy contenting bin98.inf first ?
or first inserting floppy contenting bin98.aa?
Or is there has any other problems?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Yours sincerely,

Liu Qi Zhong
From China
