Make it more clear standard DOS/Win procedures cannot be used, just like.. 2.2.1.1. Creating the Boot Floppies First, you have to create two BSD format boot floppies. Those floppies cannot be created using standard DOS or windows tools. For more information, please read the installation boot image information. To create the boot floppies... - Download both image files from the floppies directory of the FreeBSD FTP site or your local mirror. Beware: Some versions of Netscape wreak havoc on those images. [Explain how to get the images without ascii translation, or auto-expansion through tools like netzip.] Just my $.05 -Christoph Sold To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
