I downloaded four iso images namely, 5.2.1-RELEASE-alpha-bootonly.iso, 5.2.1-RELEASE-alpha-disc1.iso, 5.2.1-RELEASE-alpha-disc2.iso and 5.2.1-RELEASE-alpha-miniinst.iso from mirror side. Do I need to burn all these images? Did any ever body install FreeBSD on that particular machine (AS 1000A 4/266) or know about any known constraint? Any related information would be much more appreciate!!! Santanu
