	I recently downloaded FreeBSD boot.flp and cpio.flp. I used dos 
to format 2 new floppies and rawrite for the images. The boot disk seems 
to boot okay, but it hangs at "changing root device to fd0c". Is this 
normal?  I tried to insert the cpio disk at this point, that doesn't work 
either. Any suggestions? I want to try out BSD on my hard drive.
