Knowing the bios's in some of those older 386 and 486 machines I would guess that the bios is the problem. Where does the boot stop? What message does the machine give you? If it's before you get a "boot:" prompt, it's probably the computer not FreeBSD. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
