>From the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-guide.html): If you are installing from an MS-DOS partition, download the fdimage.exe program or get it from tools\fdimage.exe on the CDROM and then run it like so: E:\> tools\fdimage floppies\kern.flp a: The fdimage program will format the A: drive and then copy kern.flp to it (assuming that you are at the top level of a FreeBSD distribution and the floppy images live in a floppies subdirectory, which is typically the case). If you are using a UNIX-based system to create the boot floppies, do the following: # dd if=kern.flp of=disk_device disk_device is the /dev entry for the floppy drive. On FreeBSD, this is /dev/rfd0 for the A: drive and /dev/rfd1 for the B: drive. -Troy ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Jim Demetrios ** Kapakos ** Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2000 11:51 AM ** To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org ** Subject: boot disks ** ** ** I'm having a hell of a time making boot disks, this maybe a stupid ** question.
