   b. Decompress diskette image file by:

      pkunzip boot215.zip

      pkunzip kern215.zip



   c. Insert a 1.44M empty diskette to floppy drive A.

      Write "BOOT" diskette image to floppy diskette by:

      Remove diskette from drive A and insert a 1.44M empty diskette to drive A.



   d. Write "KERNEL" diskette image to floppy diskette by:

	rawrite kern215 A:



      Remove diskette from drive A and insert a 1.44M empty diskette to drive A.



   e. Write "FIXIT" diskette image to floppy diskette by:

	rawrite fixit.flp A:

      (get fixit.flp from FreeBSD CDROM \floppies\fixit.flp or FreeBSD Web

      # cd /

      # mkdir mnt1

      # mount /dev/fd1 /mnt

      # mount /dev/sd0s1 /mnt1	(mount the partition where system was installed)

      # mv /mnt1/kernel /mnt1/kernel.old

      # cp /mnt/kernel /mnt1
