In recent versions, this is not true. Boot.flp in recent versions *is* too big, it's 2.88MB. In this case, you should use both kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, each of which are 1.44MB. Boot from the kern.flp floppy, and insert the mfsroot one when asked to do so. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
