It looks like you tried to boot from root.flp. Did you produce the boot.flp? Use (under DOS) rawrite.exe boot.flp (I believe it is self explaining with regard to drive letter/number - don't know off memory). After booting the boot.flp you will be offered an installation menu. Go into partition and look if your partitions are ok. The go into Label disk and define the FreeBSD partitions on the respective slice including mount points (/, swap, evtl. /var, /usr/home or whatever you like or have space for). Define the dists, media etc., then Commit. > > > P: "Couldn't extract all of the distributions.
