The *.flp files are byte-for-byte images of the floppy, not files you should
place on a floppy. If you want to create FreeBSD install-floppies from DOS or
Windows you need the "fdimage.exe" utility. You can find it on a FreeBSD ftp
server in the "tools" directory.

For details on how to use "fdimage" see (section 1.3) :

2) I'm using a IBM Thinkpad 600e 400mHz without much sucess.
Will FreeBSD install on this machine?

It should. I run FreeBSD on much older systems.

Good luck,
Daan
