Hi all

I am trying to install FreeBSD on a friends notepad (166 mhz with 16 mb ram and 2 gb hd). When I boot using the cd (I know the cd works) I get:

invalid format

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default:0:fd(0,a)/kernel
boot:
no /kernel

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default:0:fd(0,a)/kernel
boot:

Btw the computer doesn't have a floppy disk.

I hope someone can help

Please cc to me as I am not on the list.
