Can Somebody help me? I am trying to install from floppy but I can't seem
to intstall the bin distribution!

I copied install.sh bin.mtree (which was truncated to bin.mtr) bin.inf
which I dowloaded as text files from ftp.freebsd.org as well as bin.aa and
bin.ab(downloaded as binary files) on to the first disk.  This disk is
formatted to MSDOS fs. when I try to commit changes in the install program
the program tells me that it can't install probably because the
distribution is missing on the chosen media. I have tried switching to
alt-f4 ( I guess this is another process) and type in <sh install.sh> but
the disk light goes on for about 3secs and nothing else happens. Why?

Thanks
