You need to switch it from the ARC firmware to the : SRM firmware, and then boot the FreeBSD install disk. Sorry, I got rid of : my Multia a while ago and can't remember the commands to do that. Go into setup, find a section labeled "Advanced" setup. It's an F? key listed along the bottom when you enter a certain menu. You'll find a "OS Type" selection. Change it to "UNIX" and reboot. You'll be in the SRM. This is all from memory, so the exact steps are likely to be completely wrong, will cause smoke to pour from your machine, and seriously injure small pets. Use at your own risk.
