I have just finished FTP'ing about 20 megs, then D/L'ing them from my 
dial-up internet host the full didtribution st of NetBSD-09.  When I went 
to put the inst1-09.fs, inst2-09.fs, & kc-aha.fs files from my HD to the 
required floppies, I had a bit of a suprise: these files are all 1228800 
bytes each, and a hd 51/4 disk only holds 1213952 bytes.

Am I doing something wrong Here?  Should the installation files/disks be 
split up somehow?

Thanks,
Phil Carson
