>Originator:     George
>Release:        3.2-19990903-STABLE
>Organization:
Software Dynamics Inc.
>Environment:
Dell P90 64MRAM 
two 1G Harddrive(first is FAT and Second for FreeBSD) 
and one CDROM
NE2000 network card
>Description:
I downloaded bin,catpages,compatxx,des,dict,doc,info,
manpages,proflibs,src from ftp://releng3.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386
/3.2-19990903-STABLE
and put them under C:\FREEBSD.
After extracting and copying all selected files into BSD
file system, some error messages showed up saying "ELF 
interpreter Missing: /user/libexec/ld-ELF.so.1 not found".
I switched to system console and didn't find that file 
either. So I copied the Kernel.GENERIC to Kernel and 
booted again, it showed the same message.

>How-To-Repeat:
download bin(or other directories if you want)from ftp://releng3.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/3.2-19990903-STABLE
and put them under c:\freebsd.
Try to install and it will happen.
