I tried installing FreeBSD 2.1 and later a snapshot of 2.2 on a Compaq Presario 425, from CD-ROMs. I chose the novice installation, as I am new to FreeBSD. After fdisking a primary partition, (hda4, as I recall), upon reboot, loading the first MSDOS primary partition, a RAMDISK suddenly would not work. Afterwards, when I ran CFDISK from a Linux install, I was informed that there were errors in the partitioning, and it refused to even run. These problems went away when DOS' FDISK deleted the FreeBSD partition, and perhaps also some logical drives which were corrupted, but they came back when retrying the FreeBSD installation.
