I managed to install FreeBSD 4.2, but when I try to go and install the the files from bin off of my floppies(I know, I'm doing it the hard way), I receive the message 'Unable to retrieve bin distrobutions from fd0. Try again?'.  I have on the floppy, the files 'install.sh', 'bin.inf', 'bin.aa', 'bin.ab', 'bin.ac', 'bin.ad', and 'bin.ae'. The troubleshooting guide and all the other documentation I could find didn't help me out at all. What's the problem here? How do I fix it?
