freebsd install from floppy

[Piotr Lukawski]

Illoai,
Thanks a lot! Your solution works - system is up and running now :-)
However, in such a case I really cannot understand why nobody can change
just one parameter and put the file in a proper place in
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.0-RELEASE/floppies/<ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.0-RELEASE/floppies/>
.
It can simplify life for many people.
Thanks again for your help.
Take care,
Piotr
