Description lilmern 2000-06-05 22:30:00 UTC

I want BSD on my 486 (no cdrom). The files from site (www.freebsd.orf/handbook/install-guide.html)are to large for floppys (it's not supposedly, but I keep geting 1.38M floppies even though they say 1.44) Do you have any suggestions on how i can get bsd on the computer?

You have to write the files to the floppy in "raw mode". 

I belive there is a misc or utils directory with a "rawrite" program 
which will do this for you from MSDOS.
