I just got the FreeBSD 1.1 (May 1994) disk from Walnut Creek and I have
had a problem getting it istalled.....I used the floppies directory and
the rawrite program to create the first three disks, everything installs
fine upto the point where you have booted off the harddrive and it asks
you for the cpio.flp disk, I put this disk in the drive.....it access for
a while then I get this on the screen

copying to disk
