igor happy, fix "you", and cleanup wording. Approved by: bcr (mentor)

<para>If you must install from floppy disk (which we suggest you
|
||||
do <emphasis>not</emphasis> do), either due to unsupported
|
||||
hardware or simply because you insist on doing things the hard
|
||||
way, you must first prepare some floppies for the installation.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>At a minimum, you will need as many 1.44 MB floppies
|
||||
as it takes to hold all the files in the
|
||||
<filename>base</filename> (base distribution) directory. If
|
||||
you are preparing the floppies from &ms-dos;, then they
|
||||
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be formatted using the &ms-dos;
|
||||
<command>FORMAT</command> command. If you are using &windows;,
|
||||
use Explorer to format the disks (right-click on the

||||
<devicename>A:</devicename> drive, and select
|
||||
<quote>Format</quote>).</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Do <emphasis>not</emphasis> trust factory pre-formatted
|
||||
floppies. Format them again yourself, just to be sure. Many
|
||||
problems reported by our users in the past have resulted from
|
||||
the use of improperly formatted media, which is why we are
|
||||
making a point of it now.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>If you are creating the floppies on another FreeBSD machine,
|
||||
a format is still not a bad idea, though you do not need to put
|
||||
a &ms-dos; filesystem on each floppy. You can use the
|
||||
<command>bsdlabel</command> and <command>newfs</command>
|
||||
commands to put a UFS filesystem on them instead, as the
|
||||
following sequence of commands (for a 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy)
|
||||
illustrates:</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>fdformat -f 1440 fd0.1440</userinput>
|
||||
&prompt.root; <userinput>bsdlabel -w fd0.1440 floppy3</userinput>
|
||||
&prompt.root; <userinput>newfs -t 2 -u 18 -l 1 -i 65536 /dev/fd0</userinput></screen>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Then you can mount and write to them like any other
|
||||
filesystem.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>After you have formatted the floppies, you will need to copy
|
||||
the files to them. The distribution files are split into chunks
|
||||
conveniently sized so that five of them will fit on a conventional
|
||||
1.44 MB floppy. Go through all your floppies, packing as many
|
||||
files as will fit on each one, until you have all of the
|
||||
distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Each
|
||||
distribution should go into a subdirectory on the floppy, e.g.:
|
||||
<filename>a:\base\base.aa</filename>,
|
||||
<filename>a:\base\base.ab</filename>, and so on.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<important>
|
||||
<para>The <filename>base.inf</filename> file also needs to go on the
|
||||
first floppy of the <filename>base</filename> set since it is read
|
||||
by the installation program in order to figure out how many

||||
additional pieces to look for when fetching and concatenating the

distribution.</para>
