That would probably be because the files you are looking for are not on fd0. If you want to install those files from floppy disks, you are going to need a lot more floppies. The bin distribution consists of 174 files of 235K each. Or 40M. See your closest mirror; for example: ftp://ftp12.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.7-RELEASE/bin/ Best bet is to burn a CDROM (where did you get your floppy images, anyway?), and point to the CDROM as the installation medium. Or do it over the net, after booting from the floppy, and point to FTP as your installation medium.

Re: FreeBSD Installation Problems
By the way, I am now installing FreeBSD version 4.7 not version 5.0 any longer. When I try installing it using the Floppy disk method it gives me a different type of error message. This time it gives me an error message like, unable to transfer the bin distribution from fd0 Do you want to try to retrieve it again? Yes No If I press yes it keeps on showing the same error message unable to transfer the bin distribution from fd0 Do you want to try to retrieve it again? Yes No . If I press No it gives me another message like, unable to save boot -c changes to new kernel, please see the debug screen (ALT -F2) for details. Then finally it gives me another message like MAKEDEV returned non - zero status. can anyone help concerning this problem. Do I need to custom my the kernel first before setting anything up, because I did went pass the kernel configuration stage, I did not do any kernel configuration or custom configuration on kernel but passed it.

Hmm, it's been ages since I've done an ftp install but it seems sysinstall from your floppies is doing its job and you're getting through the required steps. I've just had a read of the handbook but the ftp install description is a bit sparse and I can't work out from it what the problem is and I don't have a machine to to try it on other than an old 486 with only 16 meg of ram, small hard disk and rather ancient 2.2.8 FreeBSD on it. Hopefully someone with recent experience doing an ftp install will see where the problem lies. Last time I did it which was years ago I don't recall coming across your problem although I do remember my first attempt at the ftp install wasn't smooth sailing, I just don't remember what I was stumbling on. If I don't see any help on this in the next couple of days I'll see if any of my FreeBSD loving friends have any recent ftp install experience and can see where your install is going wrong.
