 I am trying to install freebsd 2.0.5 from dos partition,(because freebsd
does not support IDE CDROM) and I am getting an error that the install can
not find the root image. In the dos partition(300MB) I have c:\freebsd
but I did not make a separate /floppies directory under that, because the
docs did not specify to do that. Will that solve my problem? Or is something
else screwed up.

Thanks..
