I'm basically not getting anywhere.  If I try to do an install from floppy
medium or an existing ms-dos partition it tells me that it can't find the
bin, doc, dict, or manpages distributions.  My dos partition has the
distributions put in the c:\freebsd\bin\bin.aa, bin.ab, bin.ac etc. Same
thing with the other distributions; they are in their proper places.  If
anyone is willing to help out a faltering newbie I would greatly appreciate
it.

If you can, cc me directly because I don't get to check in here to often.
