[Bounced from FreeBSD-Doc to FreeBSD-Questions]

Oliver,

the right place to ask such questions is FreeBSD-Questions. I bounced
the message there.

Anyway, the answer you're seeking is you did not download the right
floppy image. Make sure you download two images, both about 1440k big,
named kern.flp and mfsroot.flp. The kern.flp you used does not contain
what is expected.
