  Dear Sir/Madam,
     Recently, I bought a FreeBSD 2.1.0 software from Walnut Creek CDROM and I
have problem in the installation. The following is an installing problem that
I have:
     After I changed  from C drive to CDROM drive, I typed "view" to executed
the software and a "FreeBSD 2.1.0 Directories" displays. Then, I selected
"install.bat" from this FreeBSD menu and press "Enter", I receive an error
message is "EMM386: unrecoverable privileged operation error #00 - press Enter
to reboot". I reboot my computer and make a FreeBSD 2.1.0 installation boot
floppy by selected "makeflp.bat" from the FreeBSD menu and I got a  FreeBSD
boot floppy. 
     I reboot my computer with a FreeBSD 2.1.0 installation boot floppy and it
took a while to boot up. After it boot up, an installing window displayed and
I selected "Custom" to installed. After I selected "Custom", another window
displayed and asked which hard drive I would like to install the FreeBSD
2.1.0, "wd0" or "wd1" ? I selected "wd1", since I have two hard drive in my
computer (C drive and D drive). My C drive is 1.2G and D drive is 1.6G. The D
drive is empty, it doesn't have any file at all, since I just install this
hard drive to run the UNIX Operating System FreeBSD 2.1.0. This hard drive
also format and partition with DOS. After, I selected "wd1" and press "Enter"
, nothing happen, the software go back to the installing menu and asking the
same question that I had answer before. I call Mike in the technical support 
(phone number (510) 603 - 1234) and told him what problem that I had, He told
me that may be the FreeBSD software doesn't recognize the D drive, since it is
over 1G. He also told me that there is a trick way that can solve this kind of
problem and he doesn't know how to do it. So, He told me to send an email to
your attention. Would you please tell me how to solve this problem ? Please
give me your response as soon as you can, since I have home work assignment
due shortly. Thank you very much for your help and cooperation. By the way, I
have "Window 95" in my computer. 
     Again, thank you very much for your help. I am looking forward to your
response.
