Hello:

I downloaded your FTP boot floppies for versions 4.6, then 4.6.2, and 4.7, kern.flp 
and mfsroot.flp, used FDImage to put them on MSDos floppies but they failed to get an 
options screen after both disks were loaded.   Kern.flp loaded then the mfsroot.flp 
loaded but produced a boot prompt and nothing else, giving the message "No 
/boot/loader" and then "No /Kernel".   Hitting the "enter" key did nothing except 
repeat the boot prompt.

I then tried version Free BSD 4.4 floppy files from a CD, kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, 
using FDImage, and they worked fine, putting me into an options screen for 
partitioning the hard drive.   I noticed the CD floppy files had a /sysinstall screen 
that the FTP floppies lacked.

Is part of the boot loader missing from your more recent version FTP floppy files?

I've tried everything, even reading the instructions, but nothing works except the 
earlier boot floppies from the CD.

Thanks for any ideas.
