Hi,
  My intent is to ftp FreeBSD down to my system. I am currently running =
MS-DOS and have been attempting to make a boot disk. I downloaded the 2 =
files for that, entered the commands, the floopy was formated, etc. I =
rebooted the computer. What I was faced with then was a line stating the =
file boot.config could not be found, then a line stating that boot.help =
could not be found, then a couple of lines about FreeBSD and A: drive.

Then the prompt came up, followed by boot:

Then the statement that the kernel could not be found.

Then all I got was a continious cycle between boot: and the kernel =
missing message.

Uh....what is it trying to tell me?

Thanks, Curt
