I am using a (currently) DOS based 386/40, and wish to set up NetBSD on it. I FTP the following files from a site. inst1-09.fs inst2-09.fs kc-aha-09.fs kc-aha-09p1.fs kc-ahbbt-09.p1.fs kc-ahbbt-09p1.fs Now the next stetp,,, how do I extract these files onto floppies... (2) do the floppies have to be somehow reformated with a unix type format, (3) how do I partition my dos drive to hold a unix os, or will the install do that? any help in helping me get the initial setup going would be very appreciated. Thank you in Adv. Richard
