Before I installed FreeBSD I used your BOOTINST.EXE program to change my boot sectors. When I booted from drive 1, it loaded Windows 95. When I booted from drive 2, I just got the menu again...normal. Then I installed FreeBSD from your boot disk image. When promped, I told it you use the normal MBR. I seemed to install just fine, but when I boot my system, it loads Windows 95 no matter what drive I tell it to boot from. I tried to reinstall FreeBSD. I booted from the boot disk and configured the kernel like I did before, but not instead of bringing up the main menu, I get a blank screen with an ASCII block character in the upper-left corner, it accesses my floppy, then hard drive, then CD-ROM, then it does nothing. I tried to make a FIXIT disk, but when I boot from it, it just says it can't find /KERNEL. What do I do now?
