      Finally, make a third floppy from the disk image:	cpio.flp
      You'll need this for the last stage of the boot process.
  
+     Make a note of your target hard disk attributes (possibly already noted
+     in your customised 386bsd /etc/disktab ?)
+     For scsi disks you will want to note tracks, cylinders, sectors/track,
+     (ensure these 3 multiplied are <= sectors/disk that may also be documented
+     in your possibly pre-existing 386bsd /etc/disktab)
+     (note FreeBSD install procedure makes the simplistic assumption that
+     tracks * cylinders * sectors/track = sectors/disk; this assumption
+     (& similar cylinder alignement assumptions) is wrong for Seagate SCSI
+     disks in the 700M-1.4G range, where different radial zones have different
+     numbers of sectors per cylinder).
+     
+     If appropriate make a note of your /etc/hosts ethernet addresses
+     (for your target FreeBSD system, & possibly for any system expected 
+     to act as ftp supplier of bin & src tar images.)

      If you want to use any of the optional tools in the tools

      copied directly to a DOS formatted disk (using, either mcopy

  2.  Boot the first floppy.  When it asks you to insert the file system floppy,
!     insert the second floppy ``filesyst.flp.''  Follow the instructions
      that floppy gives you.  If partitions  already exist on the hard disk,
      then by default FreeBSD attempts to install itself at the end of these.
