I have a 2.2.8 system with a Boardrunner mvp3/586b mother board IDE 4gig, 128 meg of mem, S3 Virge vid. and it will not boot FreeBSD 3.X from the floppy/cdrom. FreeBSD 2.2.X, and Linux/dos/windoze(nt/98/95) will all boot from the floppy/cdrom, but not FreeBSD 3.X. Looking back, this appears to be my first Boardrunner going to 3.X. I'm comfortable with doing an update, except that if I have to emergency recover the system, then I am stuck. I have not yet tried the update. I have experimented extensively with the BIOS, and have updated to the latest version, still no joy. Any and all help would be appreciated.
