I recently got FreeBSD 2.0 from Walnut creek on CDROM, unfortunatly being
a pleb, I onyl have a Sony CD connected to my Sound Blaster and it
doesn't really like that :(
It seems from the installation I can install it from floppy disk but
how? I tried copying the files in bindist onto flopy disks in the
/nt/bindist directory but it complains about not finding the checksum. I
Guess I could copy the checksum file onto each floppy but suspect this
won't work.
I've scoured the documentation .... bah hah... but can't see any way to
do it. Anyone have any hints on how to do it?
