I'm installing FreeBSD on a Pentium computer. I purchased the Walnut Creek CD. My CDROM is not in the computer I am installing to, so over my Windows network I copied the appropriate files onto my computer's hard drive. Then, using the computer with the CDROM drive, I made the boot.flp floppie using makeflp.bat. I then used that floppie to boot my computer. It appears to start booting, then it says 'uncompressing kernel' then it says 'invalid compressed format, system halted'. What should I do? Thank you for your time, Andrew Smith andy@esslink.com
