I couldn't install FreeBSD (from CD-ROM) in my PC. I tried everything without results. I installed from CD-ROM (with inst_IDE) and the installation stopped after the recognize of hardware. When installing from disk each of the errors d : "Write failure on transfer (wrote -1 bytes of 10240 bytes)" or "Failed to load the root distribution".
	Here is my PC's configuration:
	-Pentium 133 - 16 Mb RAM
	-Board Intel Triton PCI (Award modular BIOS V4.50PG Plug and Play extension V1.0A.
	-HD controller Intel PIIX E-IDE  (Port's: 1F0 and IRQ 14; 170 and IRQ 15).
	-Display adapter PCI S3VISION868.
	-CD-ROM Goldstar GCD-R540C.

	I would be very gareful if you could help me.Here is my E-Mail
