	I burned the ISO, and just like RC1 and RC2, after installing 
and rebooting, F2 (which should boot disk2s2a, my FreeBSD /) just 
reboots the system instantly; PhoenixBIOS banner. F1 boots XP okay, 
and I can boot from the CD and load & boot the kernel, but even after 
setting disk2s2 Active in the fdisk tool & reinstalling BootEasy, 
FreeBSD doesn't boot correctly after the install completes.
