Imade an installation boot disk following the instructions found at www.freebsd.org but am unable to make it work. Can you help? My computer is a 486 with a 4.0GB hard drive, 16MB ram running MS-DOS 6.22. The installation boot disk was made using the MS-DOs command "fdimage boot.flp a:". This was after downloading two files from your site, boot.flp and fdimage.exe. The BIOS on my motherboard doesn't support the 4.0GB hard drive directly . I am therefore running EZ-BIOS as installed by the EZ-DRIVE software which came with the Western Digital hard drive. If I attempt to boot from the new installation boot disk following the EZ-BIOS procedure I get MS-DOS instead fo FreeBSD. If I attempt to boot using on-board BIOS procedure I get only strange beeping sounds and don't see the EZ-BIOS message at all.
