Hi,

Whe I'm installing FreeBSD in a 486 PC. After loading files from an FTP machine and enterred the root password, the machine automatically restart. The screen shows: 

F1...BSD
Default: F1
F!...BSD
Default: F?

From there I cannot go anywhere. Could you give me some glues or instructions as for why it is doing this and how to make my FREEBSD boot correctly.

Thanks

Xiang
