This sounds like the problem you get when you download the boot floppy in text mode. Make sure that you download everything in binary mode. Also, check the size of boot.flp on ftp.freebsd.org before you download it and then the size of boot.flp on your own computer after you download it. (Obviously, they should be the same). > Any suggestions for how to get around this problem? Yes; see above. -- The one and only usenet god : Email god@heaven.com asdlfjalsdflkjasdlkfjasdkl;fjasdl;kjf my new signature!
