Help!
I am having trouble installing the 5.0 release FreeBSD. I am installing it
to its own machine and I have completed the following steps. I do not have a
bootable CD Rom drive (though I do have a CD Rom burner), so I have been
planning to install from discs. So far I have:
1. Formatted two floppy discs.
2. Downloaded kern.flp and mfsroot.flp to my root c: drive (of a Windows
system)
3. Downloaded fdimage to my root c: drive (of a Windows system)
4. Copied kern.flp from the Windows DOS emulator with the command: fdimage
kern.flp a:
5. Copied mfsroot.flp from the Windows DOS emulator with the command:
fdimage mfsroot.flp a:
6. I turned on the machine to which I will install the OS and ensured that
floppy disks were the primary boot mechanism in the setup menu.
7. When I restart the machine with the kern.flp or the mfsroot.flp in the
disk drive I get the message “Insert bootable media in the appropriate
drive.”
Any suggestions?
