<sect1>Before installing from a MS-DOS partition</heading>
<p>To prepare for installation from an MS-DOS partition,
you should simply copy the files from the distribution
into a directory called <tt>FREEBSD</tt>. For example, to do
a minimal installation of FreeBSD from DOS using files
copied from the CDROM, you might do something like
this:
copy the files from the distribution into a directory
called <tt>C:&bsol;FREEBSD</tt>. The directory tree structure
of the CDROM must be partially reproduced within this directory
so we suggest using the DOS <tt>xcopy</tt>
command. For example, to prepare for a minimal installation of
FreeBSD:
<tscreen><verb>
C> MD C:\FREEBSD
C> XCOPY /S E:\DISTS\BIN C:\FREEBSD
C> XCOPY /S E:\FLOPPIES C:\FREEBSD
C> XCOPY /S E:\FLOPPIES C:\FREEBSD\FLOPPIES\
C> XCOPY /S E:\DISTS\BIN C:\FREEBSD\BIN\
</verb></tscreen>
Asssuming that <tt>C:</tt> was where you had free space and
<tt>E:</tt> was where your CD was mounted. Note that you need
the <tt>FLOPPIES</tt> directory because the <tt>root.flp</tt> image is
automatically looked for there when you are doing a
MS-DOS installation.
asssuming that <tt>C:</tt> is where you have free space
and <tt>E:</tt> is where your CDROM is mounted. Note
that you need the <tt>FLOPPIES</tt> directory because
the <tt>root.flp</tt> image is needed during an MS-DOS
installation.
For as many `DISTS' you wish to install from MS-DOS
(and you have free space for), install each one under
<tt>C:&bsol;FREEBSD</tt> - the BIN dist is only the minimal
requirement.
<tt>C:&bsol;FREEBSD</tt> - the <tt>BIN</tt> dist is only the
minimal requirement. If you have room on your MS-DOS
partition for all the distributions, you could replace
the last line above with:
<tscreen><verb>
C> XCOPY /S E:\DISTS C:\FREEBSD\
</verb></tscreen>
which would copy all the subdirectories of
<tt>E:&bsol;DISTS</tt> to <tt>C:&bsol;FREEBSD</tt>.
