Copied images to HD from =
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.1-RELEASE/floppies/=20

Made floppy disks using fdimage, (c:\downloads>fdimage kern.flp =
a:)(c:\downloads>fdimage mfsroot.flp a:)

Google and FreeBSD archives were no help.

Not sure what info will be helpful. Ask and I will answer.

Thanks,

David
