The files from site (www.freebsd.orf/handbook/install-guide.html)are to large for floppys (it's not supposedly, but I keep geting 1.38M floppies even though they say 1.44) Do you have any suggestions on how i can get bsd on the computer? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: phk State-Changed-When: Sat Jun 10 11:48:58 PDT 2000 State-Changed-Why: You have to write the files to the floppy in "raw mode". I belive there is a misc or utils directory with a "rawrite" program which will do this for you from MSDOS. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=19043 >Unformatted:
