I'm afraid I don't quite understand. I have certainly never
installed FreeBSD on a notebook, but both the 4.3 CD, and the first
and second CDs from the 4.4 set are bootable. At least that's how
I've always installed it: put the CD in the drive, make sure the
CDROM is the first boot device, and boot up.
