I have recently got FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 from the net through ftp. I make the three floppy disks, i.e. kcopy_ah.flp, (kcopy_bt.flp as well) filesys.flp, and cpio.flp and put the bin_tgz.aa - bin_tgz.cl on floppies as well. I have also bought a 420 M hard disk for it in preparation for the installation. I made those three floppies using the rawrite.exe from the dostools directory. However, after I have put the kcopy_ah.flp disk into my 3.5" floppy drive and reboot the machine, I machine just neglect the floppy and boot up DOS from my C: drive as if there is nothing in the 3.5" Drive A: . I have tried to use the kcopy_bt.flp and it behaves exactly the same. I wonder if I have done anything wrong or missed anything. Any help will be very much appreciated.
