Synopsis: Installing Freebsd on an MSDos Fat Partition

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-Why: 
Your problem is probably better dealt with by sending mail to the
freebsd-questions mailing list. When you do, be sure to provide more
information than you did here. Specifically, you'll want to explain
exactly what you see, not just what the error message is. In other
words, how far into the boot does it get.
 
As an aside, the Sybopsis of your PR was very confusing. I'm not sure
what you meant by "Installing FreeBSD on an MSDos Fat partition". 
Also, does "IBM formatted" mean that the disks came preformatted, or
that you formatted them yourself. You should _always_ format the disks
yourself.
