I think we understood just fine. I would say that you are not understanding us.

Most systems default to floppy/hdd/cdr/misc 3) make sure the CHECKSUM.MD5 located in the same directory you downloaded the iso from, matches the downloaded iso... > 2) I've tried to install FreeBSD from DOS partition.

Perhaps if you told us what "etc" was, we could offer some more advice. Expand a bit on this, you might see a better response. I know, I'm guilty of doing the same thing all the time to. It just takes a friendly post to remind us. :) > 3) As for the floppies... hmm... floppy with kernel isn't identified > as bootable - strange but real I just downloaded the 4.4 floppies, and was able to boot just fine with them on my labrat machine. Sounds to me like 1) Your getting bad copies of this stuff or/and most likely 2) you have some hardware issues that need to be cleared up. -- Robert Hough (rch@acidpit.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
