I recently downloaded the boot.flp file from the freeBSD web page(From the Easy to Install, these directions section of your FreeBSD home page). I read your instructions for downloading a copy of FreeBSD (which is what I'm trying to do) and was unsuccessful still. My problem arose when I tried to use your program fdimage.exe to copy the boot.flp to my 3.5 floppy drive(a:) while in MSDOS mode. I copied both files, boot.flp, and fdimage.exe to a subdirectory, FREEBSD as you explained in the Installing in MSDOS helpful hints section of the Installing FreeBSD web page. So while in MSDOS mode, I was in C:FREEBSD> and ran the program, fdimage.exe. It displayed Usage fdimage [-dsqv] [-f size] [r ?] file drive So I typed C:FREEBSD>fdimage [-dsqv] boot.flp a: But unfortunately, that did not work. So I am writing you in hope of a solution. Your response Is awaited and anticipated. Thanks, Cole To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
