I've tried to solve these problems. As for the answers on my questions - it seems to me that several people didn't understand me correctly. Let me explain again: 1) Disk1 (Install) - is the CD disk (not floppy) made from ISO image (4.4-install.iso). And it's not bootable. I can't explain this. Maybe you can? 2) I've tried to install FreeBSD from DOS partition. All was well till "signal 11 was caught... etc". This bullshit happened again. I guess the problem doesn't concern CD itself (I mean CD surface) but it does concern the installer. 3) As for the floppies... hmm... floppy with kernel isn't identified as bootable - strange but real That's all news I have for now. I keep trying. Still unsuccessfully.
