I have purchased a new LAPTOP  <TI Extensa 650CDT> to run FBSD.


When I try to boot from a floppy I get the message:

crc error.
System Halted!

That happends after decompressing the kernel.

I have teseted the floppy on a desktop computer and it works.
I can neither boot from the HD. When it seems to start booting it starts
loading WIN 95 again.

I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.2. on CDROM.


What can I do?


Thanks in advance.
