I didn't even get that far the first try. I hate instructions, I want everything done *now*. I tried copying the boot disk to an MSDOS formatted floppy and booting it without raw writing it first. Of course, that didn't work. So, when I did finally get FreeBSD installed, I configured stuff so wrong that my HD light stayed on constantly and trashed my Win95 partition... Ack. Paul.
