Hi I did the boot disk as per the instructions in the FBSD manual. The command I used was "dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/rfd0". The a: drive whisked and whirred for a while and it seemed like everything was ok. (The purpose of making the disk was to do a floppy install.) The manual said that I should reboot to that floppy, and after 5 sec's or so it would boot to the default install screen. Well I did all that and I could not get past "boot:". I tried "single", "kernel" "help" "?" and so on but nothing happened. If my cdrom is broken, and I want to install via floppy/ftp, was I following the right directions? If not, where are the instructions to follow please, or if I missed a step, what was it?
