Hello, my name is Fernando Casaubon and I live in Mexico. I've been trying to install the FreeBSD for a week or so, but I've been having a lot of troubles to do it, so I had to mail you and ask for help. I got some help frm a friend of mine. He told me how to get the first steps to install the Operative System, but I'm really stucked with something. I have a ethernet link and I'm netted (to internet) with that ethernet card. My friend told me to get a file named boot.flp and another one called rawrite.exe I got those files into a floppy and I'm booting the computer with that floppy. After I do that, I get the menu to install the BSD and everything seems to be ok. Then I get the ftp option to install the BSD, but by the time the computer gets to actually get the files by using the ftp, the computer just can't find any address to do it. Not ftp.freebsd.org and not another one. I did a ping to the address that it's supposed to be running on the computer and there is no answer from it. So I guess that there is something wrong at the time the boot.flp tries to GET those files. My friend told me to 'rawrite' the boot.flp file and that's the way I did it... I have that floppy here and I've been trying to install the BSD for a while (about 20 times) but I always get stucked at the same point. Thanks a lot for your help. Yours sincerely, Fernando Casaubon
