I have the same problem, I installed the free BSD 2.2.6 disk
everything seems to go fine.  It says to take out the floppy disk and
to reboot.  I do that and get the error: Disk boot failure insert
system disk.
I asked it to install the boot manager, I set the partition active. 
I'm really not sure what I'm missing, I don't have any other operating
system installed yet since if I have my windows NT installed I get the
error 36 when trying to install Free BSD.  Maybe I just need to to a
install it without the boot manager?  I really hope someone can point
me in the right direction

Thanks

Garth
