I am installing FreeBSD from floopy.
I have two drives:
   C: drive is used for DOS
      and its applications.
   D: drive (slave drive) is now partially installed
      with FreeBSD. The fdisk process went fine.
      I am at the point where I need to 
      install the CPIO disk but I can not boot from 
      the FreeBSD disk (drive d:).  I have os-bs setup
      on a floopy but the software does not see the 
      d: drive partition.

How do I proceed?
How will I be able to boot FreeBSD?.

I have a 386pc, 8mg ram, 387 coprocessor and I will
only be using FreeBSD to learn about UNIX.


Any help will be appreciated.
