	I'm having trouble installing 5.3 from my 4CD set.  I have
	a 10G Window partition;  That leaves 3 slices available.

	I have tried various sizes for /,  SWAP, and /usr,  but newfs
	consistantly has trouble mounting /usr.  I have no idea why.
	After I hit return, the install completes, I reboot to see

	F1: ???
	F2: FreeBSD
	F3: FreeBSD
	F4: FreeBSD

	F1 brings up my W2k; F2  boots FBSD but there is a system
	error swhen it tried to mount /usr.  I tried by-hand.  No-joy.
	Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?  (Must I use the NT 
	bootloader, etc?)

	gary
