I am having trouble getting my machine to recognize the boot disk that I
created by ftp'ing boot_144.flp from ftp.FreeBSD.Org through a Dos/Windows
machine directly to the floppy. The FAQ says to use the unix dos tool
command rawrite but our system does not have that available. I get the
no-system disk error on bootup. I have a Dell Dimension XPS90 pentium
machine with a PCI bus, #9GXE video card and a WD 540mb IDE hard drive.
I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions anyone might have.
Thanks,
Derek
