I was excited by all the successes and failures news on installing 386bsd  
posted here. So, I decided to give it a try. Having 
fidlling around for a couple of days, I started booting the  tiny 386bsd.
After the 386bsd partition is created, it starts to formating the  
partition and displays an array of numbers. Then the following message  
showed up and the booting process stopped:
	Mounting 386BSD file system.
	Installing files from installation floppy.
	cpio: No such file or directory.
	Could not install files. Installation failed.
Is there anyone have this problem with installation? Did I do anything 
wrong?  I am new to 386BSD. Please, someone help me. I am anxious to get
it running.
