Do I subtract 64 from the sector number while in the FreeBSD install
program under disk partitioning or are you referring to a DOS utility to
do this?

Do I still use booteasy? For some reason, the Dynamic drive overlay from
Ontrack DM always comes up first. Then after the prompt about booting
from floppies, it starts booteasy. But booteasy gives 2 options: F1-for
disk 1 or F5-For disk 2 (no F4-For Freebsd like in the SNAPs).
Thanks for the help.
