Try as I might I could not install it as bootable. I tried various permutations of installation. I dedicated the whole hard disk of the PC I was trying it on to BSD. But I got zip when I booted. So I installed a minimal linux installation, then BSD and using Lilo, lo and behold it booted ! The CD installation went without a hitch. Any clues ? I have successfully installed and run 4.0 on this very same PC (I use it as a spare test PC) without any problem.
