Hello--

Boot.flp is too big to fit into a 1.44 Mb floppy! despite what the FAQ
says. I get only around 1457664 bytes of free space after formatting a
1.44 MB floppy diskette on WindowsNT! What do I do to get around this
problem? Create 2 diskettes? if so how do I do it, the fdimage program
doesn't give any explicit options for usage.

And for doing an FTP install of (freeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE on i386) do I
really need boot.flp?? or is kern.flp and mfsroot.flp enough?


Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Praveen
