 I am trying to install FreeBSD3.4 on a  Compaq Deskpro 575(16mg/400mgHD).
 The only difference from factory configuration is that I put a SCSI ZIP on
 it to load \FreeBSD
                                                             \FreeBSD\bin
 
 \FreeBSD\floppies
 
 \FreeBSD\manpages
 
 \FreeBSD\packages
 
 Naturally packages was subset of the full CDROM.
 
 I am not interested in XWindows on it and a CLI with bash "is good enough"
 for my purposes.  .:.  the HD space limitations are not an acute problem but
 an annoyance.
 
 I ftp'd the latest 3.4 release since it was released after I got my 3.2 book
 so I am using the 3.2 book & the 3.4 errata & release notes from
 FreeBSD.org.
 
 Problem definition:
 Computer will boot & run Win3.1 without problem. Accesses ZIP drive & can
 copy to \FreeBSD desired files.
 .:.  we know that basic hardware works
 
 Create kernel & mfsroot floppies & boot in that sequence to installation
 screen.
 
 Installation dies at:
 npx0 on motherboard
 npx0 INT 16 interface
