You also have SCO installed?  Then you have some boot manager installed?
I gave away my last copy of SCO about 6 years ago. :)  If you only want
to choose between DOS and FreeBSD, the Boot Easy boot manager that comes
with FreeBSD will work just fine.  Boot Easy will also work with a Linux
partition that has LILO installed... but I cannot says about SCO.  The
readme in tools/srcs/bteasy says it cannot boot xenix.

There is a dos example on the cdrom itself.  Look at install.bat.

Crashed?!?  Ouch.  Hopefully someone else has an answer the crash part.

Try   man kbdcontrol

And look at /etc/sysconfig.

I don't know.  Is anything in /usr/X11R6?  If so, run xf86config.
