Dear Sir 
     
     I intend to install the FreeBSD 2.1.5 release but am experiencing difficulties in actually getting the fbsdboot.exe to run at all on my computer.It is
     a laptop computer and unfortunately can only have either the CDROM or floppy disk module installed at any one time.I tried to run the install.bat.First
     the computer is turneed on then I see windows startup menu.I chose to load
     DOS ver 6.22 (I have modified the  config.sys and autoexec.exe for this
     version of dos so that no memory  manager is loaded).Only cdrom device
     driver is loaded.I run from the cdrom's directory install.bat.Then
     the following appeared.

     fbsdboot.exe -D kernel
     Booting @ 0x100000
     text=0xf0000 data=0x13c000 bss=0x11ec0
     symbols=[+0x940+0x4+0xe694+0x4+0xf119]to
     tal=0x35b7b5 entry point=0x100000

     the computer is then crashed(or I was stuck even Ctrl-Alt-Del could not
     reboot the computer)

     The cdrom is a Teac_cd44e(ide).The cpu is fast enough.

     I really don't know what to do can you help me .(Soory for writing so long.)
