heeeeeelp!!!! bsd won't install!!! (how do i install patches?)



Help!  I formatted my HD for NetBSD.  I have the 2 install + 1 boot floppies
from the image site at ftp.iastate.edu.  I also have Keith Moore's 
patches for NetBSD.  Question: do I install the pathces to the kernel on 
the floppy I just made from the images I download?  My system will not 
boot off the floppies.  But, then...if I hafta install off the floppies, 
then I cannot patch them from DOS (General failure error reading drive 
A...blah blah blah).  This is frustrating...I have the patches on my DOS 
hard drive...but I have no way to patch the floppy BSD kernel since I 
can't read the disk!!!!   Arrrrrgh!!!!!  If anyone has a solution for 
this (read: patched kernel boot disk, if possible), please email me asap!

Thanks all!
