When I donwnloaded the boot disk, and wrote it, and then went through the installation, I got up to the point where it asked me if I was going to install it off of a PPP or SLIP either COM1 or COM2. I selected COM2 (being my modem com port) and when I went into the third console, I couldn't get it to dial. Also, when I was in the terminal, in the third console, I could not do any modem commands. If I can't get the modem to work during FTP install, I wanted to download the files that I need to do a HD install off of a MS-Dos partition. Can someone please tell me what directories in the ftp.freebsd.org site, that I need to download? All help is greatly appreciated!
