When I boot with the FreeBSD, it doesn't recognize the full 540 megs. The Disk Manager has the option to press Cntrl to boot from a floppy, but when I use this root, it reboots right after it starts to read the FreeBSD floppy, then sits with only a blinking cursor. I don't know if this is the right address to be sending this kind of question to, but I figured I'd give it a try. I really want to get FreeBSD installed on my machine.
