I wonder if you got it from local sites like ftp.cs.cuhk.hk or
ftp.hk.super.net? I really don't want to get it from ftp.freebsd.org
as the time needed will be painfully long.
BTW, I hope someone can answer the following questions:
1) Does current FreeBSD support MDA/Hercules display? The boot.flp
from 950622-SNAP gives the messy screen on the MDA display after
loading the kernel.
2) Does current FreeBSD still support MFM/RLL disk system? The same
boot.flp can't detect wdc0 on my system having DTC 5287 RLL
controller with Seagate ST251 MFM harddisk.
