Why do so many people get these errors (file too big)? Wel andrea, the solution to your problem is to use rawrite.exe to make the floppy. you can get it at ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/tools You may as well redownload boot.flp as I'm pretty sure you may have inadvertantly downloaded the file in ascii. use the ftp site, not the web site, it seems to work better. Also ensure that you have a new, freshly formatted disk without bad sectors. And make sure you are in DOS mode. not a dos box, not having exited windows into dos, use a 6.2 boot disk.
