+To prepare for installing via MS-DOS hard disk:
+
+ To prepare FreeBSD for installaton from the MS-DOS C: drive
+ of the hard disk, you need to do the following:
+
+ If FreeBSD is installed on a hard disk containing
+ a Primary MS-DOS partition (as opposed to an
+ Extended DOS partition), then the FreeBSD distribution
+ files can be read directly from DOS. Preparation
+ is just a matter of copying the FreeBSD distribution
+ files onto DOS C: drive of the hard disk.
+
+ If FreeBSD is installed on a separate hard disk than
+ MS-DOS, it is not currently possible to read the FreeBSD
+ distribution files directly from DOS. In this case,
+ a different medium should be used.
+
+ Once you have the files on the C: drive, you can proceed to the
+ next step in the installation process, viz preparing your hard
+ disk.
