[-- Attachment #1 --] I loaded BSD on a 486. I Created a small 20 meg DOS partition. I loaded CD drivers for a matshita CD-ROM and was able to run install directly from the CD and install it in the remaining unused partition. I skipped over the Active drivers screen, despite 23 conflicts. The load was flawless. Once completed I wasn't sure how to make a smooth exit from the install program. It's as if my only option was to Exit, and answer the question are you sure you want to exit? Once I do, the system reboots, and prompts me to answer F1 for DOS or F2 for BSD. It'll take DOS, but won't take F2 for BSD. It keeps prompting me to set the default. Do you know what's up?
