BTX halted

[kalin mintchev]

this is a few days old. i got a reply saying to try floppies but from the
INSTALL.txt under the amd64/5.3-REL it says:
1.3 Floppy Disk Image Instructions

   Floppy disk based install is not supported on FreeBSD/amd64.

like i said i played with bios settings and nothing really worked.
can somebody help?

thanks..
