I could be wrong, but I would more likely guess that install is barfing on the fat32 that Win uses by default. Someone else may know better than I if FreeBSD install will work from that filesystem type ;) As well, from the docs you have to start the install after booting to dos, not from a dos window. That would be my second guess at the problem. > > What is throwing me is not getting my dialup to work. After > configuration, I go to ALT-F4, then dial.
