I am attempting to install FreeBSD 2.1.6 an am encountering the following
problem:  After the installation reads the bin floppies I get the message
"Couldn't extract the following distributions. This maybe because they
were not on the installation media chosen: doc manpages dict

After the install, I re-booted and used sysinstall in an attempt to install the
doc disks.  I the got the message "Unable to get packages/INDEX from
selected media".

Please note that I do have the .inf files on the install floppies.  Also, I
believe I have the files in the appropriate directories on the floppies
(bin,dict,doc,manpages)

Any suggestions that could be provided would be appreciated.
