hi,
i tried to create a floppy-disc to install freebsd. i made a new
partition with 121 MB and the boot-disc(with fdimage), but when i boot
from it, all i get is:



------------------------------------------------------------------------
can't find file boot.config
can't find file boot.help

>>FREEBSD BOOT @ 0x1000: 639/7424 k of memory, internal console
Boot default: 0:fd(0,a)kernel

boot:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
my system: 486 with DOS and Win 3.1
if you know what i'm doing wrong, please let me know!

thanks a lot for your support


p.s. is it necessary to format the new partition in order to install
freebsd??
