Thank you for your time. > > 1. Do you have more than 16 MB system RAM? You need more than 16 to install versions of FreeBSD higher than 5.2.1. 2. Try diabling "PNPBIOS" type options in the system's BIOS setup tool. 3. Make another set of floppies on new diskettes. 4. Check the hardware compatibility list at www.freebsd.org against the components in your system. Hope one of these does some good. Kevin Kinsey
