Hello,
  I've tried to install NetBSD on my system using the floppy install method (two floppies plus boot1.fs and boot2.fs images) and when I insert the first boot floppy, everything is fine. However, when I get to the second boot floppy/image, I get the message "Read data" then it tries to open netbsd.gz but cannot find it. Same for netbsd.old and onetbsd and no luck with any of these either.
  Can someone tell me what the problem might be here? I have tried the boot-small.fs image with success, but I can't use it since it doesn't have IDE support. I have used both the rawrite.exe util on DOS and the dd command on Linux on the second disk image (as well as tried the installation on different floppies) and have downloaded the second image in binary format, but to no avail. :(
  Any help in this matter is appreciated.

TIA,
Paul
