Hello:

	I purchased Free BSD 2.1 to install on a new Gateway
 pentium pc. I have to CD from Walnut Creek in my ATAPI CD
 drive. Prior to this I copied the boot.flp from the CD to a
 floppy on my other PC that is running windows 95. When I 
 attempt to boot from this floopy the PC complains that the
 floppy is not bootable. Am I approaching this correctly?
 There isn't an atapi.flp file on the CD as the documentation
 suggests, could this be the problem?

 Thanks, Steve Blair
