Richard, When formatting your disks on a windows machine, make sure you do NOT check the box that says something along the lines of "copy system files". You just want a blank formatted disk. The 1.44MB kern.flp and mfsroot.flp files will fit on there if done properly with fdimage or rawrite. -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of }Richard Lemieux }Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2000 8:40 PM }To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: trouble } } }I am about to try freebsd but got stuck before beginning. }When I try to }fdimage kern and mfsroot I get the message file too big.
