I have 24 megs of Ram and I'm dual booting Windows 95 and FreeBSD using System Commander. I shrunk my original 800 MB DOS partion in half using fips.exe from the Linux distribution to make space for the FreeBSD partition. I then installed via NFS. The kernel loads from hard disk, probes all the i/o devices, and then hangs. The system will not respond to key strokes including <^c>, <del>, <^d>, <alt><f?>. Do you have any suggestions as to how I might proceed in debugging this problem ? Darren Croke. ps. FYI, I had to turn off Dell's power management in order to get the system to boot the FreeBSD kernel at all.
