I'm new to this list, So I hope these questions haven't been asked 
already.

Machine 486-66 256meg PCI 2940Adaptec, SMC EtherPower PCI, Onboard NCR 
PCI. One 1.gig Seagate.

trying to install 2.0.5-ALPHA.

NFS/FTP don't work for me, but it's the way my Network is set up. I have 
34 machines connected to Novell servers/Linux/Dos/WIN95/NT/Os2
Linux server connected using SLIP 28.8 modem.

On the drive I have it part.ed 500megs dos, 475 FreeBSD 25 for Swap.
FreeBSD picks up everything all the hardware, and it seems to be correct.
I have ftp'd all files , and made exact diroties on Dos part. 
c:\freebsd\bin etc....
Added the mount points /dos  /   swap
then I tried media Dos
I got 
Error mounting sd0s1 on /dos: No such file or directory (2)
Alt-f2
Warning: calculated sectors per cylinder (3880) disagrees with disk label 
(2048)
/dev/rsd0a: 972800 sectors in 256 cylinders of 1 tracks, 3880 sectors 
475.0mb  in 16 cyl groups .........
Debug: mount /mnt/dev/sd0s1 /mnt/dos


then I tried the floppy install.
it gave an error on the root disk, not a gzip file, unexpect end of file. 
so I was told to try -c and turn off everything but the things I have.
that fixed the root disk problem. But then I got 
Error mounting floppy rfd0 (/dev/rfd0) on /mnt:
Debug: initFloppy: mount floppy /dev/rfd0 on /mnt
Debug: Switching back to VTY 0

Anyone know what the cause of this is?
