It's possible that I'm missing something as it's 3am and I'm tired, but =
I think your site lacks a great deal of installation information.

I've just come from using Linux and wanted to try BSD.  I went to =
freebsd.org  I took the "Getting BSD" link and ended up at =
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html  I don't have a BSD =
distribution on CD so as this page suggests I took the link leading to =
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.1-RELEASE/floppies/README.TXT  I =
load this page to find that it only explains CD and network installs.

I then find the link about installing from MSDOS, at the bottom of the =
page.  It in turn leads me to =
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook15.html#15  This page presumes I =
have a BSD CD, and know what's in it's /bin directory.  Are there any =
instructions for installing BSD from a msdos partition that don't =
require me to have a CD?
