Whem I follow the instructions I receive the message that the capacity of the floppy is too small. Can You tell me what I should do. My pc cannot boot from the cd-rom. What is "the reference guide"? Could you give us an url? Read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html and especially 2.2.7 Prepare the Boot Media section.
