Hi BSDers,

I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.0R and ran in to some problems.
The install setup screen was great and the filesystems and cpio
installed correctly and with exceptional ease.

However when I tried to install the rest of the bindist from DOS
floppies I get and eror message "cannot cd to /mnt/bindist"

I tried to copy all the bindist files to the  wd0h drive and tried to
install from the hard disk... no luck.

FreeBSD would not recognize my hard disk unlike 1.1.5.1 where the
load_dos command did.

Please help...
