    wang bin,您好！

            1.5.3 Installing from a DOS partition
    To prepare for installation from an MS-DOS partition you should simply copy the files from the distribution into a directory called FREEBSD on the Primary DOS partition (C:). For example, to do a minimal installation of FreeBSD from DOS using files copied from the CDROM, you might do something like this:

    C:\> MD C:\FREEBSD
    C:\> XCOPY /S E:\BASE C:\FREEBSD\BASE
    Assuming that E: was where your CD was mounted.

    For as many distributions as you wish to install from DOS (and you have free space for), install each one in a directory under C:\FREEBSD - the BIN dist is only the minimal requirement.

    Once you've copied the directories, you can simply launch the installation from floppies as normal and select ``DOS'' as your media type when the time comes.

            在freebsd安装盘里有一个INSTALL.HTM文件，里面有上面这一段，不知道行不行，我没试过。
