Hi,

I am new to FreeBSD and I would like to install WordPerfect on my system.  I have read 
through the FAQ and some of the help available at www.freebsd.org but it seems that I
am still missing a piece of the puzzle.

I have installed v2.1 from CD and set up accounts and installed X11 and everything seems 
to work normally in native mode.  Before trying to install WordPerfect for SCO I enabled 
the iBCS2=YES flag and rebooted the system.  When it came up it gave me the message that 
this was enabled and there were no errors.  Next I mounted the floppy drive and tried to 
read the install disk.  At this point the system gives me an error message saying I have 
an invalid superblock on the floppy.  

Could someone pass along how this can be installed or where I can find an FAQ/README?

Thanks,

Trevor Johnson
