Help!

I have a copy of the Datafile CD-ROM RiscBSD distribution but I
am unable to install it from CD as I do not have an ATAPI drive.

I have copied the 1.2 sets onto floppy and have made a RiscBSD
boot floppy and I have managed to get as far as step 28 of the
installation instructions.

At step 28 it says type   /usr/local/sbin/inst   but I am
getting a message to say that I must be root to run this
program.  Without even the distribution sets on the h/disk I am
at a loss as how to progress.

Any ideas? or do you need more info.

PS Why don't the 1.2 kernels like my Cumana CD-ROM? and because
of this fail to recognise my hard disk?

Many Thanks
