install floppies, no cfdisk

I'm trying to install Slackware 11, but I can't boot from cd. Just tried booting floppy with bare.i, and then rootdisks install.1 and install.2. Then I tried to fix my partitions and realizes that I don't have the cfdisk or fdisk command.
Figured they might be on the cd which I mounted, but no luck finding them there.

I know I installed Slackware 9.1 booting from floppies on the same laptop, and can't remeber that I had to do anything to reach the cfdisk command.

Those programs should definitely be there.

You are saying the system boots up to the install floppies, and neither command is present? Where did you download these? Did you happen to check the MD5 sums?

The fdisk and cfdisk programs are on the second install floppy. Did you load both rootdisk floppies?

Thanks for the help!
Turned out to be a crappy floppy I used for install.2
