Second query...... Has anyone ever gotten a floppy install of FreeBSD to
work?  I would like to try a minimal install to build a troff/tex writing
box, but my one try at a floppy install did not work correctly.  Many
ftp installs have worked just fine.  I have not tried cdrom installs, but
I don't have a cdrom on the box in question.  Comments/suggestions/other
experiences or war stories appreciated.

Thanks
