I installed FreeBSD 2.1 right off the net. When you boot from the floppy, at the 'boot:' prompt, type '/kernel -c', and then you can specify your devices and give their hex addresses and irq's. Once you get into the setup program, it will ask you how you want to install, ftp is an option, just specify it. It defaults to freebsd.cdrom.com, with the appropriate directories and locations. you can change it if you need to. Good luck. Jamie I spent yesterday thinking about the tomorrow that is today.
