Maybe some of you could help. I installed FreeBSD 5 and want to create a boot floppy to start the system located on my harddrive. I have done this with other distros using mkbootdisk, but FreeBSD does not seem to have this.
Any ideas? I know about "dd if=..." but I heard that would not work.

I guess my first question would be why, but I know of a couple ways. You could go to /usr/src/release and type in "make boot.flp" and go that route, or take boot.flp from here as well as fdimage.exe, then dump them in a folder and run this:

fdimage boot.flp A:

that would do it too.
