Clean up the installation docs a bit (geeze Loise were they EVER out of

date!!) and rename them to something more eye-catching so people will read them
again (considering the previous state of affairs, I'm actually rather glad they didn't!).

+                        FLOPPY INSTALLATION NOTES
+                                FreeBSD
+                            Release 1.1.5
+
+Welcome to FreeBSD!  This document has been put together in an effort
+to make initial installation of the system from floppy as easy as possible.
+It also provides a simple description for those eager to get started as soon as
+possible.  Please see the file README.INSTALL for more detailed installation
+instructions.
+
+1.  To install FreeBSD you will need 3 (or 4 if you choose to add the optional
+    DOS floppy) floppies, as well as the bulk of the distribution on some
+    other medium (floppy, tape, CD, etc).  If you've retrieved this release
+    from the net, you'll first have to make the floppies yourself using
+    the supplied images.
+
+    Due to the differences in PC configurations, we've found it necessary
+    to provide multiple initial boot images that provide kernels for
+    different types of systems.
+
+    If your disk controller is one of:
+
+	MFM / RLL / IDE / ST506
+	Adaptec 154x series
+	Adaptec 174x series
+	Buslogic 545S
+
+    Then please use the disk image:	kcopy_ah.flp
+    to construct your boot floppy.
+
+    If your disk controller is one of:
+
+	Bustek 742a
+	UltraStore 14F or 34F
+
+    Then please use the disk image:	kcopy_bt.flp
+    to construct your boot floppy.
+
+    Next, make a second floppy from the disk image:	filesyst.flp
+    You'll need this for the second stage of the boot process.
+
+    Finally, make a third floppy from the disk image:	cpio.flp
+    You'll need this for the last stage of the boot process.
+
+    If you want to use any of the optional tools in the tools
+    subdirectory of the ftp distribution site, these should be
+    copied directly to a DOS formatted disk (using, either mcopy
+    or  mount -t pcfs).  This disk is referred to later as the
+    optional "dos" floppy.  
+
+    If installing more than one operating system on a disk, then
+    it is recommended that the dos floppy at least include the
+    os-bs boot manager.  If downloading files via a modem and SLIP
+    is not available, then the dos floppy should include kermit.
+    You'll have the option of loading the programs that are on
+    the dos floppy in the last stage of the boot process.
+
+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.
+    Before rebooting, note the type of disk it says to copy the kernel
+    to: ``sd0a'' or ``wd0a'' (``sd0a'' is for SCSI systems, ``wd0a'' is
+    for all others.)  When the system halts, go on to the next step.
+
+3.  Boot the first floppy again, but this time when it asks
+    you to insert the file system floppy, just press the return key.
+    Follow the instructions that the floppy gives you.  When you see
+    the ``kc>'' prompt, type ``copy'' (without quotes).  At the next prompt,
+    ``copy kernel to>'', type either ``sd0a'' or ``wd0a'' as given in
+    the previous step.  When the system halts, go on to the next step.
+
+4.  Making sure that there's no floppy in the drive, press return to boot
+    from the hard disk.  After it has booted and is asking what drive the
+    cpio floppy is in, insert the third floppy ``cpio.flp'' into a
+    floppy drive and answer the question about what drive it is in.
+    Note that 0 is the same as DOS drive A:, and 1 is the same as DOS
+    drive B:
+
+5.  After the cpio floppy has been copied to the disk, remove it from the
+    drive.  If there are programs on the dos-floppy that you would like
+    installed, then insert this disk in a floppy drive, again specifying 
+    the drive to read from.
+
+6.  After the cpio (or optional dos) floppy has been copied to the disk,
+    enter `halt' at the command prompt.
+
+7.  When the system asks you to press the return key to reboot, first
+    remove the floppy and then press the return key to boot from the hard
+    disk.
+
+8.  At this point you will get 4 errors from the fsck on boot, these
+    are normal and are caused by files that were open when the
+    /dev entries were built - just ignore them.  The system will
+    correct these errors and then halt, after which you should press
+    the return key again to reboot with a clean system.
+
+9.  Congratulations, you've got the mini FreeBSD system on your disk!
+
+10. Follow the instructions about set_tmp_dir and extract that
+    will come on your screen after you've pressed the return key.
+
+11. Run the configure command to set up some of the /etc files by
+    typing ``configure''.  You will have to edit /etc/netstart after
+    this if you have a networking interface.
+
+12. Reboot so that the system comes up multiuser by typing ``reboot''.
+
+13. You are now running FreeBSD!  Congratulations!  You may now continue
+    with installing the source distribution, or stop here for now.
+
+14. The file /magic contains the special sh commands used during
+    installation.  Should you need to use them you can do the following.
+
+	/bin/sh
+	. /magic
+
+15. If your disk has several operating systems, you may want to
+    install the Thomas Wolfram's os-bs boot manager for selecting
+    which system to boot.  This works well with DOS, OS/2, FreeBSD
+    and other systems.  To install it, boot the system with MS-DOS
+    and insert the dos-floppy of the FreeBSD install suite in
+    floppy drive A:.  Then enter the DOS commands:
+    > A:
+    > os-bs135
+    > cd os-bs
+    > os-bs
+    A menu should now appear on the screen. Use the cursor keys
+    to highlight the install option and hit ENTER.  Simply follow the
+    instructions from there.
+
+    For more information about the ob-bs program, including its
+    capabilities and limitations, see the file `readme.1st' in the
+    os-bs directory.
+
+    If you choose not to install os-bs, then fdisk can be used to
+    change the boot system.  This is done by making the primary
+    partition for the boot system active.  FreeBSD has an fdisk
+    command that can be used for this purpose as well.
+
+16. In addition to the FreeBSD  source and binary distributions, many 
+    additional packages, such as X11 and TeX, may be obtained from 
+    freebsd.cdrom.com - please have a look around!  You may also find 
+    this a good time to read the release notes in RELNOTES.FreeBSD.
